Cell differentiation
The type of cell that can renew itself into differentiated cells.
What are stem cells?
The process of dividing cells so that your body can grow and repair
What is Mitosis?
The part of interphase characterized by the development of organelles, the making and breaking of macromolecules, sorting of proteins, and cellular work
What is Gap 1?
The stage where Improper separation takes place.
What is anaphase?
The number of chromosomes a human body generally has
What is 46?
The location where stem cells are found.
What are every organ?
Another term for uncoiled DNA.
What is Chromatin?
The step in interphase recognized by the copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division
What is DNA synthesis replication?
The uncontrolled division of cells
What is Cancer?
The name for the two cells produced during Mitosis
What are daughter cells?
The name of a stem cells "home" that provides instructions regarding the cells differentiation.
What is niche?
An unspecialized cell that can differentiate into specialized cells or more of its own kind.
What are stem cells?
The step of interphase following synthesis where the cell continues to grow and produce proteins in preparation for cell division
What is Gap 2?
The failure of the separation of sister chromatids during nuclear division.
What is nondisjunction.
The type of DNA created to develop the second splitting cell
What is identical DNA?
The only genes and proteins necessary for a stem cell to produce in order to survive are active in this process.
What is genetic expression?
Threadlike structures of nucleic acids and proteins.
What are Chromosomes?
The percent of time that the Cell is in interphase
What is 90 percent?
Changes that happen in the cell cycle that can activate genes that are known to be cancerous
What are oncogenes?
The number of pairs of chromatids post-mitosis.
What is 23 pairs?
The reason our appearances change as we age.
What is damage to our stem cells?
A cell with the normal amount of chromosome sets.
What is a euploid?
By the end of this step in the interphase, the cell will recognize whether it has properly copied its DNA or not.
What is Synthesis and DNA replication?
The protein that detects if DNA has been damaged during the process of Mitosis.
What is p53?
The part of the chromosome that allows the sister chromatids to join together.
What is Centromere?
