Genetic material that is condensed and visible in the nucleus.
What is a chromosome?
100
This disease occurs when the cells are dividing out of control.
What is cancer?
100
Cells are limited in size because as cells increase their size this usually increases at a much faster rate than the surface area.
What is the volume?
200
Organelles and other material necessary for division is prepared during this phase. Be specific.
What is G2?
200
Name the phases of mitosis in order.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
200
Location where sister chromatids are held together.
What is the centromere?
200
This alters the DNA in a cell.
What is a mutagen?
200
Centrioles aid in division of these cells.
What are animal cells?
300
DNA is replicated in this phase. Be specific.
What is S phase?
300
The sister chromatids are separated during this phase.
What is anaphase?
300
DNA is in this form during interphase.
What is chromatin?
300
This group of proteins controls the timing of the cell cycle.
What are cyclins?
300
In plants, this is formed after telophase to complete cell division and form two identical daughter cells.
What is a cell plate?
400
The nucleus is divided in this phase.
What is M phase (mitosis)?
400
Chromatin condenses during this phase.
What is prophase?
400
The amount of DNA in a cell doubles during this phase.
What is S phase (interphase)?
400
Cells undergoing mitosis stop at this phase and check to make sure everything is ok before continuing to divide.
What is metaphase?
400
The nuclear envelope breaks down during this phase.
What is prophase?
500
Cells, like nerve cells, that are no longer dividing enter this phase.
What is G0?
500
2 identical daughter cells are formed at the conclusion of this phase.
What is cytokinesis?
500
Human body cells have 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will a body cell have that has undergone mitosis and cytokinesis?
What is 46 chromosomes?
500
This protein checks the quality and accuracy of DNA replication during S phase.
What is p53?
500
Bacteria reproduction is similar to mitosis and cytokinesis. Bacteria simply divide to produce new bacteria. First, bacteria copy DNA, separate DNA, and divide the cytoplasm. Name this process in bacteria.
