The stage of interphase where the cell grows, carries out its normal functions and replicates its organelles
What is Gap1 (G1)
100
The stage of mitosis where the nuclear membrane starts to form again, chromosomes begin to uncoil and spindle fibers fall apart
What is telophse
100
These type of cells divide a varying rates in the human body
What are eukaryotic cells
100
Programmed cell death
What is apoptosis
100
The stage of mitosis when DNA and proteins condense in to chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, spindle fibers form and centrioles move to the opposite poles
What is prophase
200
This limits the the maximum size of a cell
What is its surface area-to-volume ratio
200
The phase of the cell cycle when cells are growing and synthesizing DNA
What is interphase
200
The proccess of the division of the cytoplasm
What is cytokinesis
200
The two cells formed after mitosis and cytokinesis that contain identical genetic information
What are daughter cells
200
The proccesses that produces two identical daughter cells
What are mitosis and cytokinesis
300
The proccess of the division of a cell's nucleus
What is mitosis
300
Substances known to promote cancer
What are carcinogens
300
The stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to each chromosome and chromosomes align along the cell equator
What is metaphase
300
The stage of interphase where the cell goes through additional growth
What is Gap 2 (G2)
300
The stage of mitosis when chromatids separate to opposite ends of the cell, pulled by spindle fibers
What is anaphase
400
Condense and organize long strands of DNA into tight coils in the formation of chromosomes
What are histones
400
Disorganized clumps of cells formed by cancer cells
What is a tumor
400
Two internal factors that are important in advancing the cell cycle
What are kinases and cyclins
400
Uncontrolled cell growth in the body
What is cancer
400
Cancer cells that typically stay clumped together and are usually harmless
What is a benign tumor
500
A cancerous tumor that breaks away and spreads to other parts of the body
What is a malignant tumor
500
The stage of interphase where the DNA is replicating
What is the synthesis stage
500
Helps the cell advance ot different stages of the cell cycle by transferriing a phosphate to a specific target molecule when cells bind to each other
What are kinases
500
Two indentical chromatids, which are one half of a duplicated chromosome
What are sister chromatids
500
The spread of cancerous cells to other parts of the body
