200
The genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the duplicated chromosomes become visible
What is prophase
200
Unspecialized cells from which differentiated cells develop
What are stem cells
200
The aspect of a cell that increases faster as the cell grows (hint: think surface area or volume)
What is volume

200
Stimulate the growth and division of cells
What are growth factors

The area at which sister chromatids are attached to each other
What is the centromere
300
An example of a multipotent stem cell
What are adult stem cells (bone marrow, muscle, nervous, hair follicles, etc.)
300
As a cell grows, it places increasing demands on its own _______.
What is DNA
300
DNA is replicated during this phase in preparation for division
What is S Phase
300
The process that increases genetic diversity within a population
What is sexual reproduction
400
The phase of mitosis pictured here
What is anaphase
400
Stem cells able to develop into any type of cell in the body (including the cells that make up the extra-embryonic membranes and placenta)
What are totipotent stem cells
400
The complex of DNA and protein (DNA tightly bound around histones)

Programmed cell death
What is apoptosis
500
Two often simultaneous processes: Chromosomes return to a tangle of chromatin and one cell is divided into two.
What are telophase and cytokinesis
500
Adult stem cells reprogrammed to function as embryonic stem cells
What are induced pluripotent stem cells
500
The production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent
