Round and round we go
The part of the cell cycle in which cell growth and replication occur.
What is Interphase?
Sister Chromatids are pulled away from each other in this phase of Mitosis.
What is Anaphase?
Proteins that regulate the cell cycle.
What are Cyclins?
Cancer is caused by the failure to regulate this.
What is the cell cycle?
Mainly found in bone marrow and hair follicles, these stem cells are found in adults.
What are multipotent stem cells?
The part of Interphase when DNA replication occurs.
What is S phase or Synthesis phase?
The nuclear envelope begins to break down in this phase of Mitosis.
What is Prophase?
These cyclins respond to events inside the cell.
What are internal regulators?
The three common treatments for cancer
What are surgery, radiation and chemotherapy?
Unspecialized cells from which differentiated cells develop.
What are stem cells?
This phase results in 2 daughter cells.
What is M phase or Cytokinesis?
The chromosomes line up in the center of the cell in this phase of Mitosis.
What is Metaphase?
Cells at the edge of fresh injury will do this.
What is divide rapidly?
DNA winds tightly around these proteins to condense.
What are histones?
Cells that are capable of developing into most, but not all, of the body’s cell types.
What are pluripotent stem cells?
The two processes that occur during M phase.
What are Mitosis and Cytokinesis?
The spindle fibers begin to retract and the centrosomes continue to push toward opposite poles in this phase of Mitosis.
What is Telophase?
These cyclins respond to events outside the cell.
What are external regulators?
They are identical genetic copies of each joined together in the middle by a centromere at the beginning of mitosis.
What are sister chromatids?
Can develop into any cell in the body, including placental cells and membranes.
What are totipotent stem cells?
Prokaryotic cells divide asexually by this process.
What is Binary Fission?
The chromosomes condense and become visible in this phase.
What is Prophase?
The process of programmed cell death (cell suicide).
What is Apoptosis?
Small balls of DNA wound tightly around histones.
What are nucleosomes?
Fibroblast cells (cells that produce components of the body’s connective tissues) that have been converted into cells that closely resemble embryonic stem cells.
What are induced pluripotent stem cells?
