Cancer
100
The surface area of a cell is represented by this cellular structure.
What is the cell membrane?
100
The majority of a cell's life is spent growing and developing during this phase of the cell cycle.
What is Interphase?
100
This cellular structure is duplicated during the process of mitosis.
What is a nucleus?
100
This first stage of mitosis is characterized by chromatin condensing into chromosomes.
What is prophase?
100
Cancer is caused by cells that do what?
What is "divide uncontrollably?"
200
The rate at which cells use nutrients and produce waste is dependent upon which factor?
What is volume?
200
This is the name of the process by which the complete cell divides.
What is cytokinesis?
200
This "familiar" name is given to each member of a pair of duplicated DNA.
What is a sister chromatid?
200
This final stage of mitosis is characterized by cleavage into two new cells.
What is telophase?
200
This is a term for a mass of cancer cells in the body.
What is a tumor?
300
What is the primary reason there are no giant cells?
What is that larger cells have trouble getting enough nutrients in and wastes out to survive?
300
This is the term given to the two new cells formed from Mitosis.
What are daughter cells?
300
These structures hold copies of DNA together before mitosis.
What is a centromere?
300
This stage of mitosis sees events that are the opposite of those in prophase.
What is telophase?
300
This class of proteins regulates the cell cycle and division.
What are cyclins?
400
What is the surface area of a cube-shaped cell that is 2cm on each side?
What is 24cm2?
400
These 3 phases (in order!) make up Interphase.
What are G1, S, and G2?
400
These paired organelles, only found in animal cells, are responsible for building the spindle apparatus.
What are centrioles?
400
Meaning "back," this phase sees sister chromatids split apart.
What is anaphase?
400
These internal regulatory events control whether a cell can or cannot proceed to the next stage in the cell cycle.
What are checkpoints?
500
What is the surface area-to-volume RATIO for a cube-shaped cell that is 1cm on a side?
What is 6:1?
500
DNA is replicated during this portion of the cell cycle.
What is S phase?
500
This structure, formed from vesicles in the cell, is only found in plant cells during telophase.
What is a cell plate?
500
The equatorial plate is the location of chromosomes during this phase.
What is metaphase?
500
This word is used to describe cancers that have spread to other parts of the body.
What is metastasis?
