100
This type of cell can differentiate into most, but not all, of the body's cell types
What is a pluripotent cell?
100
During this first phase of mitosis, genetic material condenses into chromosomes and duplicated chromosomes become visible.
What is prophase?
100
The "in between" period of growth. This period of growth is divided into three parts: G1, S, and G2
What is interphase
100
The process by which cells become specialized
What is cell differentiation
100
How does cytokinesis work in plants?
A cell wall forms
200
This is the definition of the term "stem cells"
What is the unspecialized cells from which differentiated cells develop?
200
During this phase of mitosis, the sister chromatids split apart.
What is anaphase?
200
The "M" in the M phase of cell division stands for this
What is mitosis
200
A hollow ball of cells with a cluster of cells inside it that's known as the cell mass
What is a blastocyst?
200
How does cytokinesis work in animals?
Membrane is drawn inward and pinches apart
300
Adult stem cells' potential for differentiation is referred to as...
What is multipotent?
300
Spindle fibers extend from these tiny structures located on either pole of the cell
What is a centriole?
300
This is synthesized during the S phase of the cell cycle
What is new DNA
300
The outer cells of the blastocyst serve this function
What is attaching to the mother
300
Where do chromosomes line up during metaphase?
The center of the cell/the equator of the cell/the metaphase plane
400
This is the primary reason that embryonic stem cell research is controversial.
What is that the embryo is destroyed during the harvesting of embryonic stem cells?
400
This completes the process of cell division by splitting one cell into two.
What is cytokinesis?
400
The process of cell division in prokaryotes
What is binary fission/asexual reproduction?
400
Earliest developmental stage of living things
What is an embryo/embryonic stage
400
During which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope begin to reappear?
What is telophase
500
Only the fertilized egg and the cells produced by the first few cells are considered this.
What is totipotent?
500
Put the following stages of mitosis in order: Anaphase, prophase, metaphase, telophase
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
500
The four phases of eukaryote cell cycle
What is G1, S, G2, M

Scientists have mapped all the different cell differentiations in this organism
