100
Cell cytoplasm divides
What is cytokinesis?
100
List the phases of cell division in order.
PMAT
100
Chromosomes are unwinding and become enclosed in the nucleus. last step of mitosis
What is telophase?
100
The number of chromosomes we have before/after division?
What is 46?
100
Uncontrolled cell growth
What is a cancer?
200
DNA replicates
What is the S phase?
200
We spend most our time in this part of the cell cycle?
Interphase
200
Chromosomes are lined up on the cell's equator
What is metaphase?
200
How many cells are produced at the end of one cycle of mitosis?
What is 2?
200
List the steps of interphase in order (without G0)
G1, S, G2
300
The cell grows and carries out normal activities after division has occurred
What is the G1 phase?
300
The name of the structure that our DNA is tightly packed into.
What is a chromosome?
300
Chromosomes are visible, nuclear membrane breaks down, and genetic material will condense
What is prophase?
300
A buildup of cancer cells form these on organs in the body
What are tumors?
300
During which phase of the cell cycle would you expect to find DNA duplicated?
What is S phase?
400
The stage that includes G1, S, and G2
What is interphase?
400
This phase of interphase does not occur every cycle and it prepares the cell for a specialized job
What is a G0?
400
Chromatids are pulled apart and become individual chromosomes
What is anaphase?
400
Why does chemotherapy/radiation target hair follicles as well as cancer cells?
Both are rapidly growing/rapidly dividing
400
chromosomes
500
Last step of interphase where rapid growth occurs
What is the G2 phase?
500
This is the longest phase of mitosis
What is prophase?
500
What is anaphase?
500
A cell may recognize some dysfunction and order itself to undergo programmed cell death. What is this called?
Apoptosis
500
name of the organelle that stores genetic material?
What is nucleus?
