100
List the order of the stages of mitosis.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
100
The disorder that may occur when the cell cycle is disrupted and can result in the uncontrollable division of cells within the body is called what?
Cancer
200
What do we call the lengthy period in which the cell grows, duplicates the DNA, and prepares for the process of cell division?
Interphase
200
Which stage of the cell cycle focuses on cell growth in preparation for mitosis?
G1 Phase
200
In which stage of mitosis do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
200
As cancerous cells multiply uncontrollably, abnormal tissue masses form. These masses of tissue are called what?
Tumors
300
Guanine pairs with which nitrogenous base?
Cytosine
300
During which part of interphase does the small, newborn cell copy its organelles and continue to grow larger?
G2 Phase
300
The nuclear membrane disappears in which mitotic phase?
Prophase

In the cell cycle of typical cancer cells, mutations have most likely caused...
Uncontrolled Growth

What are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA?
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine
400
The process modeled above occurs in which stage of the cell cycle?
S Phase
400
In which phase do spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell?
Anaphase
400
Which part of the cell cycle controls the repair of damaged DNA, which, if unsuccessful, could eventually result in the abnormal cell division that forms some types of cancer?
G1 Phase
500
What is the final stage of the cell cycle where the parent cell divides into two new daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
500
If the role of a specific protein is to facilitate the repair of damaged DNA, at which checkpoint in the cell cycle would you most likely find this protein?
G2 Checkpoint
500
After which mitotic phase do you have two complete sets of chromosomes?
Telophase
500
What do we call the process of a disease spreading from one organ system to another?
Metastasis
