Cancer
A mutation is a change in _______.
DNA
The workers of the cell
Proteins
DNA is found inside of this organelle. It's also where Mitosis occurs.
Nucleus (the 'brain of the cell')
This phase includes cell growth while the nucleus holds one full set of DNA.
Growth 1, G1
The first step in Mitosis; chromosomes condense and mitotic spindle forms.
Prophase
People who are old and ___________ tend to get cancer at higher rates.
tall
Gives us short-term energy
Carbohydrates (Carbs)
Name one organelle or structure that is only found in plant cells.
Chloroplasts, Central Vacuole, Cell Wall
True or False: One chromosome has many genes.
True
The step in which chromosomes align in the center of the cell.
Metaphase
Mutations occur during this phase of the Cell Cycle.
S-phase, DNA Synthesis
We get these three macromolecules from our food.
Carbs, Lipids, Proteins
The "Powerhouse of the Cell"; this is where ATP is produced
Mitochondria
This phase includes cell growth while the nucleus holds two full sets of DNA.
Growth 2, G2
The mitotic spindle pulls sister chromatids toward opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
Stores energy for the long term; is a key component of cell membranes
Lipids (Fats)
This organelle is where photosynthesis occurs. It also makes plants green.
Chloroplasts
This phase starts with one full set of DNA in the cell's nucleus, and ends with two full sets.
S, DNA Synthesis
The step right after Mitosis that fully separates the two new, identical daughter cells.
Cytokinesis ("Cell movement")
The most deadly type of cancer
Lung and Bronchus (affecting our respiratory organ system which allows us to breathe)
What element forms the backbone of all macromolecules?
Carbon
In which organelle are proteins produced?
Ribosomes
This phase begins with a cell with two full sets of DNA and ends with two daughter cells.
Mitosis
This stage includes chromosomes decondensing and the formation of two nuclear membranes.
Telophase
