100
The process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells.
What is Cell Division?
100
The phase when cell division, mitosis, and cytokinesis takes place.
What is The M Phase?
100
____-_____ is the shape of chromosomes.
What is X-shaped?
100
The stage when Chromosomes gather up to opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes, and two nuclear envelopes form.
What is Telophase?
200
A threadlike structure within the nucleus that contains genetic information that is passed on from one generation to the next.
What is Chromosome/Chromatids?
200
Name at least two stages of the cell cycle.
What is G1, S phase, G2, or M phase?
200
This is where one can find chromosomes in cells.
What is Nucleus?
200
The phase when the cell grows and replicates its DNA.
What is Interphase?
300
The part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides.
What is Mitosis?
300
This is how many stages the cell cycle has.
What are 4 phases?
300
Chromosomes are made of this.
What is DNA?
300
The phase when chromosomes move away from each other to opposite poles of the spindle. (Separated but somewhat close to each other)
What is Anaphase?
400
A disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth.
What is Cancer?
400
The phase when DNA replicates.
What is the S phase?
400
The constricted point of the chromosome (the middle of it).
What is Centromere?
400
The stage when the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell, each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere.
What is Metaphase?
500
An unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells.
What is Stem Cell?
500
Is the preparation stage for Mitosis.
What is The G2 Phase?
500
One is the exact copy of the other and each contain one DNA molecule.
