What Stage Am I?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
metaphase
Splitting of the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
Uncontrolled cell division
Cancer
What are the stages of the Cell Cycle in order?
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
Section of DNA with instructions for making a protein
Gene
Sister Chromatids pull apart.
Anaphase
Division of the nucleus
Mitosis
Clumps of cells that divide uncontrollably
Tumor
This stage involves the growth of the cell.
Interphase
Group of cells working together for a common function.
Tissue
DNA condenses into chromosomes.
Prophase
Spindle fibers connect to the centromeres.
Metaphase
Abnormal cells that typically remain clustered together; usually easily removed and harmless
Benign
Stage where DNA replication occurs.
S Phase
Reason our cells divide. (2)
Growth and Repair
Spindle fibers break down.
Telophase
Nuclear membrane dissolves
Prophase
List 2 potential causes for cancer.
Biological Factors (age, genetics, skin type)
Lifestyle (Diet, Activity, UV Radiation)
Viruses and infections
Exposure to carcinogen (Tobacco smoke, asbestos)
How many cells are produced in the cell cycle?
2
Internal or External Regulation
Hormones and Nutrients
External
Cell Plate
Cytokinesis
Two stages of mitosis that are exactly opposite.
Prophase and telophase
Spreading of disease from one organ to others
Metastasize
Critical points in the cell cycle where 'stop' and 'go' signals are used to regulate the cell cycle.
Checkpoints
cancer causing agents; chemicals that cause cancer by mutating DNA
Carcinogen
