This is composed of thin, uncoiled strands of DNA
What is chromatin
100
Define the root "meta"
What is "between, along, after"
100
Name the components of the cell theory
What is 1. All living things are made of cells 2. The cell is the basic unit of life and 3. Cells come from preexisting cells

What phase do the spindle fibers attach to each chromosome?
What is metaphase
200
The cell spends most of its time in this phase...

A disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth
What is cancer
300
Where the nuclear membrane breaks down and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus...
What is prophase
300
Name the phases of interphase in the correct order
What is G1, S and G2

During what phase of the cell cycle, do plant and animal cells differ and why?
What is cytokinesis. Plant cells produce a new cell plate in the middle of the cell and animal cells simply pinch the cell membrane
