Phases
Where and Why?
Cancer

The division of the nucleus

Mitosis

100

This first phase of Mitosis has the chromosomes forming and the nuclear envelope breaking apart.

Prophase

100

This is the phase where cells spend the most time in.

Interphase

100

This is the most important part of Science.

Safety

200

This surrounds the nucleus.

(Put a stamp on it, and maybe you can mail it.)

Nuclear Envelope

200

This phase has chromosomes line up in the middle of the nucleus.

Metaphase

200

Mitosis is the division of this part of the cell.

Nucleus

200

This is something that can cause cancer.

Carcinogen

300

These "strings" form during Prophase and help pull the nucleus apart during mitosis.

Spindle Fibers

300

This phase of Mitosis has the Chromosomes pulled apart from each other.

Anaphase

300

This cell part connects the cells during Telophase and breaks apart during Cytokinesis.

Cytoplasm

300

Give 3 examples of carcinogens.

Cigarettes, Drugs, UV Rays, Radiation, Unhealthy Life Choices...

400

X marks the spot! These are bundles of condensed DNA that carry genetic information.  

Chromosomes

400

Tell a friend.  This phase of the cell cycle creates 2 new nuclei, but they are still connected with cytoplasm.

Telophase

400

Chromosomes are located here.

Nucleus

400

This therapy uses chemicals to treat cancer cells and can often harm healthy cells in the process.

Chemotherapy

500

During which 4 phases does the nucleus divide?

PMAT

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

500

In this phase of the Cell Cycle the cytoplasm separates and 2 new daugther cells are formed.

Cytokinesis
500

Give 3 reasons that cells need to divide.

Growth, replace dead cells, replace injured or sick cells, reproduction....

500

Why is cancer considered a disease of the cell cycle?  

Cells grow out of control to cause tumors
