Discribe four things that happen during prophase
1. nuclear envelope disappears 2. chromosomes thicken and become visible 3. centrioles start to move to opposite ends 4. spindle fibers begin to form

nucleotides.

300
What is the job of a check point?
A check point is a stop along the cell cycle to make sure there are no mutations
300
In what stage does sister chromotids separate?
Anaphase
300
Why are cancer cells different
Don’t respond to signals and divide uncontrollably.
300
Which type of tumor is cancerous

Each nucleotide is made up of 3 components: 


A 5-carbon sugar called Deoxyribose.

Phosphate group which make up the “sides” of the ladder.

Nitrogen base which make up the “rungs” of the ladder.

Why do cells divide?

Cells need to divide for your body to grow and for body tissue such as skin to continuously renew itself.

What is Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis- divids the cytoplasm for two identical cells
