Divide & Conquer
The process by which a cell divides into 2 daughter cells
Cell Division
X marks the spot to find genetic information carried on these structures made up of DNA.
Chromosomes
This is the phases of the cell cycle (PMAT) where the nucleus divides.
Mitosis
Proteins that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
Cyclins
The most important part of science
Safety
The phases (IPMATC) that a cell goes through in order to make new cells
Cell Cycle
When chromosomes are replicated, they form to sister _______________.
This is the longest phase of mitosis where chromosomes become visible, and centrioles take position opposite the nucleus.
Prophase
Why is cancer considered a disease of the cell cycle?
It's uncontrolled cell growth.
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Osmosis
Give one reason cells need to divide.
Replace Old/Sick/Dead Cells
Growth & Development
This is the phase of the cell cycle that takes the loooooooooooongest.
Interphase
These attach to the centromeres when chromosomes line up in the middle during Metaphase.
Spindle Fibers
This woman had "immortal" cells that have been used for research for over 50 years.
Henrietta Lacks
Cellular Respiration
Give one reason cells need to divide.
Replace Old/Injured/Dead cells
Growth & Development
These are the "belts" that attach the chromatids together in the middle.
Centromeres
In this phase the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
Anaphase
What happens when most cells come into contact with other cells?
They stop growing.
The organelle that contains most of the DNA
Nucleus
Too much Demand on DNA
Too difficult to Move Materials Across the Membranes
This is the phase of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm separates creating 2 new daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
2 new nuclei are present during Telophase, but this keeps the cells attached.
Cytoplasm
What makes STEM cells have potential value for medical treatment?
They can turn into any type of specialized cell.
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast
