CELL CYCLE
The most detailed phase in the Cell Cycle.
What is Mitosis
The phase where the cleavage furrow is formed
What is Telophase
True or False: Gametes are diploid cells
What is False
The uncontrolled division of cells
What is cancer
The number of haploid chromosomes in an earthworm with 36 diploid chromosomes
What is 18
The phase in which DNA is replicated
What is Synthesis (S Phase)
The phase in which chromatids form into chromosomes
What is Prophase
The exchange of genetic material to create unique daughter cells
What is Crossing Over
A cluster of cells that is non-cancerous and can easily be removed
Genes; have the same length and shape
What is a homologous chromosome
The phase in which a cell grows and centrioles begin to form
What is Gap Phase 2 (G2)
The split of Cytoplasm
What is Cytokinesis
The number and type of cells produced after Meiosis I
What is 2 germ cells
A cancerous clump of cells that can break off and spread to other areas of the body
What is a malignant tumor
The difference in genetic codes allowing humans to adapt
What is genetic variation
The phase in which the cell grows and creates extra organelles
What is Gap Phase 1 (G1)
Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
What is Metaphase
The type of cells that result from mitosis (detail needed: how many? what kind? number of chromosomes -- use the word? type of cell)
What is 4 unique haploid gamete
The normal and controlled death of cells
What is apoptosis
After mitosis, this is formed in a plant cell instead of the cleavage furrow
What is a Cell Plate
The phase in which cells spend 90% of their life
What is Interphase
The type of cells that result from mitosis (detail needed: how many? what kind? number of chromosomes -- use the word? type of cell)
What is 2 identical diploid somatic cells
The amount of chromosomes in a human gamete
What is 23 chromosomes (1 set)
The word used to refer to the break off of cancerous cells from a malignant tumor that causes other tumors to form in different parts of the body
What is metastasize
The combination of 2 gametes through fertilization
What is a zygote
