Cells
This stem cell can form any type of cell including the embryonic and placenta cells
Totipotent
If a cell has 24 chromosomes before mitosis, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell
24
Phase of the cell cycle that a cell spends 90% of its time. Majority of growth and DNA replication occurs in this phase
Interphase
The process of reproduction that produces a clone of the parent
asexual reproduction
When a cell begins to differentiate to do a specific job that cell becomes
specialized
Bone marrow produces stem cells that are best categorized as
Adult Stem Cells or Multipotent Cells
Why do chromosomes coil during mitosis
To prevent them tangling or breaking
This phase of mitosis is defined as the DNA moving to the center of the cell along the equatorial line
Metaphase
The process of reproduction that increases genetic diversity
sexual reproduction
Stem cells can become most any type of cell and as such are
unspecialized
These stem cells can become any type of cell except for embryonic and placenta cells
Pluripotent
The name we give to DNA that is coiled around a protein
Chromosome
This phase of mitosis is when the nuclear envelope disappears and chromatid are formed
Prophase
The name for the group of proteins responsible for regulating the cell cycle
cyclins
How many cells are estimated to be in an average human body
100 Trillion
100,000,000,000,000
Cells that have lost there ability to control their rate of division and divide uncontrollably
Cancer Cells
When two strands of chromosomes are joined via a centromere
Chromatids
This phase of mitosis is when the chromatids split at the centromere into sister chromosomes and move to opposite ends or poles of the cell
Anaphase
The cell divides as a result of to much what compared to surface area
volume
Name the three main approaches we currently use to treat cancer
Tumor Removal Via Surgery, Radiation, and Chemotherapy
Dr. Yamanaka took skin cells from mice and turned them into stem cells. What was the name given to these new types of stem cells
Induced Pluripotent
DNA replication occurs in what stage of the cell cycle
S phase
The final step in the Mitotic process when once cell becomes two by splitting the cytoplasm and building a cell wall in plants and repairing the cell membrane in animal cells
Cytokinesis
In prophase these organelles go to opposite ends or poles of the cell and begin to reach out and pull other organelles toward them
Centriole (Centrosomes)
In Interphase, DNA starts to bundle into what before the final packing stage turns it into chromosomes
Chromatin
