Mitosis
Units of heredity from parents
Genes
Number of chromosomes in human
46
An agent capable of causing cancer
Carcinogen
This type of cell undergoes Mitosis
Eukaryotic cells
A haploid reproductive cell produced by a sexually reproducing organism
Gamete
Cytoplasmic division into two daughter cells after mitosis or meiosis
Cytokinesis
Chromosomes are made of this and it is the combination of DNA and proteins.
Chromatin
The stage in nuclear division in which chromosomes become arranged at the equator of the spindle
Metaphase
Cytoplasmic division into two daughter cells after mitosis or meiosis
Cytokinesis
True or False
Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter nuclei
True
The four phases of Mitosis
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
The ends of chromosomes are sealed by these structures
Telomeres
Basic protein that forms the nucleosome scaffolding of chromosomes
Histone
Uncontrolled cell division is __
Cancer
A change in any Gene is called a ____
A mutation
Asexual
When chromosomes replicate, they are known as __
Sister Chromatids
A constriction of the chromosome the region that becomes attached to the spindle fibres in division
Centromere
Cell cycle state where the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide.
Interphase
The spread of cancer through cells breaking off and spreading through the blood and lymphatic system to other parts of the body in order to form secondary growths.
Metastasis
At what point in mitosis is Chromatin at its most condensed
Metaphase
A diploid organism that has the same allele of a gene at the gene's locus on both copies of the homologous chromosome sin its cell and therefore produces gametes with identical genotypes
Homozygous
A gene carried by a tumor virus or a cancer cell, which is responsible for the formation of a tumor
Oncogene
Longest phase in the cell cycle
Interphase
Stem cells that can produce any type of cell
Totipotent
