100
The chromosomes condense and become visible during this phase
prophase
100
DNA replicates during this phase
Synthesis or S phase
100
This type of cell division is used for body cells
mitosis
100
Each side of a replicated chromsome is called a
Sister chromatid
100
Which cell is BIGGER? One that has a surface area to volume ratio of 1:1 or 1:10?
1:1
200
the nuclear membrane breaks down during this phase
prophase
200
The cell does its job during this part of interphase
G1
200
A cell that has 30 chromosomes, has this many chromosomes in EACH cell after mitosis.
30
200
Mitosis is the division of this cell structure
Nucleus
200
Which cell is SMALLER? One that has a surface area to volume ratio of 1:15 or 1:100?
1:100
300
the nuclear membranes come back during this phase
telophase
300
The cell spends MOST of its' time in this part of the cell cycle
Interphase
300
Cells go through mitosis for one of these reasons
growth, repair or replacement
300
Cytokinesis is the division of these cell structures
Cytoplasm and organelles
300
Cells are so small because they need a lot of cell membrane compared to volume for this important process
diffusion (or osmosis)
400
The chromosomes line up in the middle during this phase
metaphase
400
The "stopping" points where the cell makes sure everything is ready to divide.
Checkpoints
400
these structures pull the sister chromatids apart
spindle fibers
400
What does it means when the chromosomes "condense."
They twist around proteins until they are shorter and thicker.
400
When a tumor stays together and is not likely to spread it's called:
benign
500
The sister chromatids are pulled apart during this phase
anaphase
500
A cell that is no longer dividing is in this part of Interphase
G zero
500
The spindle fibers come from this structure in animal cells
Centrioles or centrosomes
500
When a cell intentionally kills itself because something has gone wrong.
Apoptosis
500
When a tumor is spreads throughout the body, it's called:
malignant
