Cell Cycle
The life cycle of a cell consists of 2 major periods.
What are (1) interphase and (2) cell division?
The 4 stages of Mitosis.
What are (1) prophase, (2) metaphase, (3) anaphase, and (4) telophase?
The number of parents involved in sexual reproduction.
What is two?
A mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably.
What is a Tumor?
One of the identical rods of a chromosome
What is a Chromatid?
Interphase is divided into 3 phases.
What are (1) G1 Phase, (2) S Phase, and (3) G2 Phase?
The 2 stages of Meiosis.
What are (1) Meiosis I and (2) Meiosis II?
A female animal's contribution for the offspring.
What is an egg?
A programmed cell death that can be deregulated in cancer.
What is apoptosis?
The thin fibrous form of DNA and proteins.
What is a Chromatin?
The cell increases in size and produces new organelles and proteins during this phase of interphase.
What is G1 Phase?
The division of the nucleus of the cell into 2 new nuclei.
What is Mitosis?
The number of parents involved in asexual reproduction.
What is one?
Three ways to treat cancer.
What are (1) surgery, (2) radiation, (3) chemotherapy (drugs), and (4) bone marrow transplant (BMT)?
A groove in the plasma membrane of a cell that forms during cytokinesis.
What is a cleavage furrow?
The shortest phase of interphase when organelles replicate and molecules are needed for cell division.
What is G2 Phase?
The actual division of the cell into 2 new cells.
What is Cytokinesis
A type of reproduction that requires less energy and has a faster population growth.
What is asexual reproduction?
When mutations disrupt the normal cell cycle and causes cells to divide uncontrollably.
What is how cancer begins?
The structure where 2 strands are held together.
What is a centromere?
Chromosomes replicate and DNA is synthesized during this phase of interphase.
What is S Phase?
A special form of cell division that only occurs in sexually reproducing organisms.
What is Meiosis?
**********Daily Double**********
Asexual and sexual reproduction are two types of reproduction processes used by organisms. There are at least four different types of asexual reproduction. The following organisms reproduce using those four types of asexual reproduction: hydra, bacteria, sea stars, potatoes
What are budding, binary fission, fragmentation, and vegetative propagation?
The spread of cancer cells from the place where they first formed to another part of the body.
What is metastasis?
Identical structures that result from chromosome replication and are formed during the S phase.
What are sister chromatids?
