Cell Growth, Division, and Reproduction
The Process of Cell Division
Regulating the Cell Cycle
Cell Differentiation
Mitosis
100
As a cell becomes larger, its...
volume increases faster than its surface area.
100
When during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible?
Cell Division
100
What is the term for programmed cell death?
Apoptosis
100
Only the fertilized egg and the cells produced by the first few cell divisions are
Totipotent
100
This disappears during prophase.
Nuclear membrane.
200
Compared to small cells, large cells have more trouble
moving needed materials in and waste products out.
200
During which phase in the cell cycle does mitosis happen?
M phase
200
Name three treatments for cancer.
Radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery.
200
After 4 days of human development the embryo forms into a
Blastocyst
200
When do the sister chromatids separate?
Anaphase
300
The process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells is called
Cell division
300
When during the cell cycle is a cell’s DNA replicated?
S phase
300
These compounds regulate the cell cycle.
Cyclins
300
Adult stem cells are
Multipotent
300
These structures are used to divide the nuclear material.
Centrioles
400
Cells produce genetically identical offspring.
Asexual reproduction.
400
What structure holds together the sister chromatids?
Centromere
400
A regulatory protein makes sure that the cell is completed with steps inside of interphase. This is an example of a
Internal regulator.
400
The process by with cells become specialized
Differentation
400
As mentioned in class, cytokinesis in animal cells occurs when a pinching process occurs, creating this formation. Name it.
Cleavage furrow
500
As a cell grows it depends on the ability of this to maintain order with in the cell.
DNA
500
What is chromatin attached to?
Histone proteins
500
This group of external regulators is important during embryonic development and wound healing.
Growth factors
500
These cells are pluripotent
Embryonic stem cells.

The M phase is made up of two stages, they are
Mitosis and cytokinesis
