Interphase
This is the growth and development phase
G1
This is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
The location where the sister chromatids meet is called this.
Centromere
Cancer cells differ from "normal" cells because of this.
This is what plant cells use to divide their cytoplasm during cytokinesis.
This is resting phase.
G0
This phase is the opposite of prophase.
Telophase
This term is defined as programmed cell death
Apoptosis
Name 2 things/events that could cause cancer.
Mutations/changes in DNA, environmental stressors, carcinogens.
This stage of the cell cycle is where the cell spends most of its life.
This phase is where the cell prepares for mitosis.
G2
This phase is where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase
These are string-like hairs that appear during mitosis that help separate sister chromatids.
Spindle fibers or spindle apparatus
How does apoptosis potentially stop cancer before it begins?
By killing the cell when mistakes are found, you're ensuring the cell can't divide before it potentially stopped responding to signals.
This is what an animal cell uses during cytokinesis to divide into 2 cells.
Furrow Cleavage
This is the phase where the cell copies its DNA over and over again.
S phase
The goal of mitosis is to divide this.
The nucleus
This is the name of the X's seen during mitosis.
Sister Chromatids
Known cancer causing ingredients/molds/etc. are called this.
Carcinogens
These are early, undifferentiated cells that can become specialized cells.
Stem Cells
Write the 4 stages of Interphase in order on the board.
Word Bank: S Phase, G0 Phase, G2 Phase, G1 Phase
G0 -> G1 -> S -> G2
These types of cells undergo mitosis.
Somatic Cells
This is the word for condensed DNA in a cell who is not undergoing cell division.
Chromatin
This is the role of cyclins and CDK's
Control and monitor cell division for mistakes.
Explain why cells are relatively small.
More efficient transport and communication
