100
Cells that divide during mitosis (not gametes).
What are somatic cells
100
A certain species has 28 chromosomes in each of its newly formed daughter cells. The parent cells during G1 had this many chromosomes.
What is 28
100
This phase concludes nuclear division.
What is telophase
100
The correct order of mitosis
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
100
Humans have this number of chromosomes in their body cells.
What is 46
200
Sometimes described as a "full set" of chromosomes.
What is Diploid
200
This occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle
What is DNA replication
200
Chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell
What is metaphase
200
These genes when mutated are like a gas pedal telling the cell to continue through mitosis
What are oncogenes?
200
The three types of genes that can lead to cancer mutations
What is oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, DNA repair
300
This is the apparatus responsible for moving chromosomes during mitosis?
What is the spindle apparatus
300
Certain types of cells, like nerve cells, are said to be "stuck" in this phase where no growth occurs
What is G0
300
During prophase the nucleoli disappears, chromosomes condense, centrosomes move away from each other, and this begins to form.
What is mitotic spindle
300
These can be produced by damaged cells to initiate cell division by binding to nearby receptors of healthy cells. 50 of them are known.
What are growth factors
300
Replicated chromosomes consists of this connected by a centromere
What is sister chromatids
400
This is the central part of replicated chromosomes that we used a rubber band to represent
What is a centromere
400
Here the accuracy of DNA replication is evaluated and signals whether or not to begin mitosis.
What is the G2 Checkpoint
400
Sister chromatids separate during this phase of Mitosis
What is anaphase
400
Tumor suppressor genes normally function to do what
What is stop cell division?
400
Cells must go through mitosis for these 3 reasons
What is to grow, repair and reproduce
500
During telophase, animal cells begin to form this as they pinch in
What is a cleavage furrow
500
The correct order of this is G1, S, G2,
What is interphase?
500
This is not considered a part of mitosis
What is cytokinesis
500
Uncontrollable cell growth
What is cancer
500
This creates daughter cells that are identical to the parent cells
