The process of continuous cell growth and dividing
What is the cell cycle
100
The first stage of mitosis and longest phase where cell's chromatin tightens or condenses in to chromosomes.
What is prophase
100
This phase of interphase is the time when cells grow and performs normal functions. The name is similar to a well-known clothing store.
What is Gap 1 or G1
100
This quality control mechanism monitors the cell cycle and can stop it if anything goes wrong in the cell
What are checkpoints?
100
The structure at the center of the chromosome where the sister chromatids are attached.
What is centromere
200
This is the stage of the cell cycle where cells grow, carries out cellular function and replicates or makes copies of its DNA in preparation of the next stage of the cell cycle.
What is Interphase
200
Out of the centrioles is this type of microtubule which is important in moving and organizing the chromosomes before cell division.
What is spindle apparatus
200
It is in this phase of interphase that cells are being prepared for mitosis.
What is Gap 2 or G2 phase
200
Proteins that regulate the cell cycle and start various activities in the cell.
What are cyclins
200
Programmed cell death because not every cell is destined to survive.
What is apoptosis
300
The stage of the cell cycle during which the cells nucleus and nuclear material divide
What is Mitosis
300
In this stage of mitosis chromosomes arrive at poles of the cell, being to relax and decondense. Two nuclear membranes begin to form and nucleoli reappear.
What is telophase.
300
Its all about "replication" in this phase where DNA is copied in the cells.
What is S phase or synthesis phase
300
Enzymes responsible for regulating cellular production processes along with the protein cyclin
What are cyclin-dependent kinases or CDK's?
300
Unspecialized cells that can develop into specialized cells when under the right conditions. Talk about versatility
What are stems cells.
400
The method by which a cell's cytoplasm divides creating new cell.
What is cytokinesis
400
This stage of mitosis involves sister chromatids being pulled by motor proteins along the spindle apparatus toward the center of the cell and line up in the "middle" or equator of the cell.
What is metaphase
400
Uncontrolled growth and division of cells is referred to as this
What is cancer.
400
Multiple changes in DNA passed from generation to generation have possibly explain this
What is caner genetics
500
Structures that contain the genetic material passed from generation to generation of cells
What is chromosomes
500
In this stage of mitosis, microtubules of the spindle apparatus shorten pulling the sister chromosomes apart causing sister chromatids to seperate into two indentical chromosomes.
What is anaphase
500
This major factor greatly impacts the transport of substances and/or moving of signaling proteins throughout the cell.
What is cell size?
500
Substances and agents that are known to cause cancer are referred to as this.
What is carcinogens.
500
With much controversy and a lot of research, these two types of stem cells are the heat of many biological debates
