Interphase
The three stages of Interphase
What is G1, S, G2?
Separating genetic information into two daughter cells
What is Mitosis?
It checks to make sure spindle fibers are attached properly
What is the checkpoint in the metaphase stage of mitosis?
Uncontrolled growth and division of cells
What is cancer?
The two main types of stem cells
What are embryonic and adult?
The step in which the cell prepares DNA for replication
What is G1?
Chromosomes form and the spindle apparatus begins to appear
What is prophase?
It checks the parent cell for DNA damage
What is the checkpoint at the end of G1?
mutation, environmental factors, tobacco, excessive alcohol, exposure to uv radiation
What is the causes of cancer?
A cell that can only do the functions of its parent cell
What is unipotent?
The cell takes inventory, prepares for nuclear division, and prepares for the next stage
What is G2?
The chromosomes are pulled along to the middle of the cell
What is Metaphase?
The protein that can have multiple types
What is cyclin?
programmed cell death/ cell suicide
What is Apoptosis?
Special cells that can give rise to cells that are not differentiated
What are stem cells?
The DNA copies and prepares for cell division
What is S phase?
Spindle apparatus begins to shorten and the sister chromatids separate
What is anaphase?
The enzyme that connects to the protein
What is cyclin-dependent kinases?
Change to the cells DNA that controls cell cycle regulators
What is a mutation?
The most powerful/ strongest of the two main types of stem cells
What is Embryonic stem cells?
The cell carries out functions, grows, and copies DNA
What is Interphase?
Spindle apparatus disassembles and two new nuclear membranes appear
What is Telophase?
The two main substances that control the process
What is Cyclin and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDK)?
Substances known to cause cancer
What are carcinogens?
Cells that weren't born with a present function
What are stem cells?
