Cell Size
Mitosis begins during this phase of the cell cycle
What is M phase
During this type of reproduction, cells can produce genetically identical offspring.
What is asexual reproduction
Chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell during this stage
What is metaphase
This is a disorder in which some cells have lost the ability to control their growth
What is cancer
DNA gets replicated during this phase of the cell cycle.
What is S phase
During this type of reproduction, cells can produce genetically different offspring.
What is sexual reproduction
These help separate the chromosomes during mitosis
What are spindle fibers?
In eukaryotic cells, the timing of the cell cycle is regulated by these
What is cyclins
Centrioles duplicate during this phase
What is G2
Prokaryotes divide by this type of cell division
What is binary fission
The structure that holds sister chromatids together is called this
What is a centromere
Cancer cells from masses called this
What is tumor
Interphase consists of these 3 phases
What is G1, S, G2
Mitosis is an example of this type of cell division
What is asexual reproduction
A doctor might treat a patient with cancer by giving the patient drugs that can kill cells that are rapidly dividing.
What is chemotherapy
The size of the cell doubled, this is how the surface area/volume ratio changed
It is 1/2
A cell that has 5 chromosomes in the G1 phase will have this number of chromatids in the G2 phase
What is 10
An advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is this
What is genetic diversity
In animal cells, this part connects to the spindle fibers
What is the centriole
