Chapter 14 takes a look into the reproduction of eukaryotic cells. Some common terms that are used when looking at cell reproduction are often interchanged with others and they actually have very different meanings. Distinguish between the following sets of terms:
1. haploid, diploid, tetraploid
2. somatic cell, germ cell, body cell, gamete, fertilization, zygote
3. cell cycle, interphase, mitosis
4. kinetochore, mitotic spindle, cytokinesis
5. synapsis, tetrad, chiasma
After that, explain the roles that nutrition, growth factors and cyclin-dependent kinase play in the control of cell division.
