Cells
As surface area of a cell increases this increase exponentially
volume
This is not a phase of mitosis
Interphase
This is the shortest phase of mitosis
metaphase
mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue
Tumor
These cells are restricted in how they can develop based on where they are found in the body.
multipotent
The more surface area an organisms cells have the faster this is lost
heat
In this phase of a cells life the DNA is reproduced
S-phase
this is the last phase of mitosis
telophase
One of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
cyclins
These cells are capable of developing into any type of cell
totipotent
This is the term for non sexual reproduction
asexual
In this phase of a cells life it increases in size and makes new organelles
G1 phase
This is the longest phase of mitosis
prophase
One of a group of external regulatory proteins that stimulate growth and division of cells
growth factor
This is a stage of early embryonic development where a hollow ball of cells surrounds another group of cells in its center.
blastopore
This single celled organism can double its volume in about 20 minutes
E. coli bacteria
In this phase of a cell life is when the organelles and molecules needed for mitosis are made
G2 phase
In this phase of mitosis the chromatids are seperated to opposite sides of the cell
anaphase
Disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
cancer
This type of cell can develop into most, but not all, cells in the body
pluripotent
This is the uncontrolled replication of cells
Cancer
This is DNA bundled into packages that are tightly bound
chromosomes
This is the division of the cell into two daughter cell
cytokinesis
The process of programmed cell death
apoptosis
Stem cell research is limited by this
