Cell Cycle
Longest phase of Cell Cycle
Interphase
Body Cells
Somatic Cells
This type of cell division produces gametes
Meiosis
Uncontrolled cell division
Cancer
This process results in two identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
DNA is replicated during this phase of the cell cycle.
S-phase
Chromosomes are being pulled apart
Anaphase
This process increases genetic diversity
Genetic Variation
Random changes in the DNA sequence
Mutations
Creates different daughter cells
Meiosis
This phase includes G1, S-phase and G2
Interphase
Chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell during this phase.
Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, making cells this type.
Haploid
Deletion, Insertion, and Substitution
Types of genetic mutation
What is a mutation ?
A change in the DNA sequence
This phase of the cell cycle involves growth and normal cell functions.
G1
The nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes begin to uncoil during this phase.
Telophase
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is called.
Crossing over
Types of tumors
Benign and malignant
PMAT is part of __________?
Mitosis
This phase prepares the cell for mitosis by making proteins and organelles.
G2
The division of the cytoplasm is called this.
Cytokinesis
The sorting of chromosomes into different gametes
Independent Assortment
Loss of control over this phase leads directly to tumor growth.
Cell Cycle
A tumor that does not spread to other parts of the body is called this.
Benign
