Vocab and Other
100
Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
What are divisions of the cell cycle?
100
Maintains alignment of chromosomes on equator.
What is tension in spindle fibers?
100
Causes healthy cells to die of when cancer is present.
What is deprivation of nutrients?
100
Role of cyclin-dependent kinases in the cell cycle.
What is initiation of different stages of the cell cycle?
100
Three stages of interphase.
What are G1, S, and G2? (Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2)
200
Stage of mitosis when centrioles migrate towards poles of the cell.
What is prophase?
200
Importance of chromosome condensing during mitosis.
What is to facilitate chromosome movement? (To help them move easier.)
200
Results when a cell does not respond to normal mechanisms that control cell division.
What is cancer?
200
Time of last checkpoint before prophase.
What is during Gap 2 stage?
200
Method of prokaryote (bacteria) division.
What is binary fission? (They don't do mitosis because they don't have a nucleus.)
300
Structure that is present in animal cell cytokinesis. It causes the cleavage furrow.
What is protein belt?
300
Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibers form and centrioles move toward poles. It is the longest stage of mitosis.
What is prophase?
300
Unspecialized cells that can develop into specialized cells under the right conditions.
What are stem cells?
300
Part of cell that is affected by colchicine. Colchicine freezes cells in metaphase.
What are spindle fibers?
300
Structure on a chromosome where sister chromatids attach.
What is a centromere?
400
Begins mitosis.
What is prophase?
400
Formation of two new nuclei.
What is telophase?
400
Two types of stem cells.
What are embryonic and adult?
400
Programmed cell death that some cells go through during development.
What is apoptosis?
400
Number of cells a daughter cell will have after mitosis if the original cell had 12 chromosomes.
What is 12?
500
Division of cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
500
Chromosomes move to the poles.
What is anaphase?
500
Regulates cell cycle.
What are cyclins?
500
Cells that stay in Gap 1.
What are nerve and brain cells?
500
Reason cancer cells can reproduce rapidly.
What is they spend less time in interphase?
