This is the biological molecule for long-term information storage.
What is DNA?
100
The first stage of cell division where the cell nucleus is divided is known as this.
What is mitosis?
100
The second phase of mitosis where chromosomes align along the middle of the cell is known as this.
What is metaphase?
100
The process in which a cell divides forming two "daughter" cells is this.
What is cell division?
100
The second stage of cell division where the cytoplasm is divided is known as this.
What is cytokinesis?
200
An alternative to cell division that addresses overloading a cell's genome is this.
What is increasing a cell's DNA content?
200
The phase of the cell cycle when the cell replicates its DNA is known as this.
What is S phase?
200
A condition that arises when the cell cycle becomes mis-regulated and does not respond to signals that regulate cell growth is known as this.
What is cancer?
200
Complexes of proteins that hold sister chromatids together prior to separation during anaphase are known as this.
What are centromeres?
200
The fourth phase of mitosis that comes before cytokinesis where the nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes decondense and the newly formed nuclei stop moving is known as this.
What is telophase?
300
A solution to a cell's need for more work without increasing a cell's DNA content is this.
What is cell division?
300
This phase of the cell cycle is a preparatory stage for mitosis when organelles and other molecules necessary for mitosis are produced.
What is G2 phase?
300
Signals that originate within the cell that tell it whether or not to divide are generally known as this.
What are internal regulators?
300
Large macromolecules comprised of DNA and proteins are known as this.
What is a chromosome?
300
The 3rd phase of mitosis where the sister chromatids in the chromosomes are split is known as this.
What is anaphase?
400
The part of the cell cycle characterized by cell growth.
What is G1 phase?
400
The first and longest phase of mitosis where chromosomes become visible, the nuclear envelope disappears, and microtubule structures connect the centromeres to the polar centrioles is known as this.
What is prophase?
400
Signals that originate outside the cell that tell it whether or not to divide are generally known as this.
What are external regulators?
400
This is the 4 phases of mitosis, in correct chronological order.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
400
The "in-between" period of the cell cycle in which the cell spends most of its lifetime is known as this.
What is interphase?
500
Replicated and identical chromosomes are known as this.
What is a sister chromatid?
500
The 4 stages of the cell cycle (not including interphase), in chronological order, are known as these.
What are G1, S, G2, and M phase?
500
This class of proteins are known to regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
What are cyclins?
500
Chronologically, interphase is between what two stages of the cell cycle?
What is between M phase and G1 phase?
500
A series of unfortunate events in which cells go through through as they grow and divide is known as this.
