What is the process of cellular division for prokaryotic cells?
Binary Fission
Phase of the cell cycle that consists of G1, S, & G2
Interphase
The phase of the cell cycle when the cell splits
Major limitation ot stem cell research
no understanding the mechanisms of differentiation
These structures ensure that all of the DNA is replicated correctly during S phase
internal regulators
The two main reasons that cells undergo cellular division.
DNA overload, Exchange of Materials
The phase of Meiosis where crossing over occurs
Prophase 1
Phase of the cell cycle when chromosomes are pulled apart
Anaphase
A stem cell that is able to differentiate into any type of cell an embryo needs
pluripotent
Unregulated cell growth and division
Cancer
This organelle is produced during G2 and is essential for cellular division.
Centriole
Phase of the cell cycle where the cell undergoes generalized growth and development.
G1 phase
Phase of the cell cycle when the new nuclei form
Telophase
A stem cell that is partially differentiated and has a limited ability to differentiate further
multipotent
The final product of mitosis
2 genetically identicle cells
As the cell grows, the total amount of DNA remains constant. DNA cannot keep pace with the cell's demands.
DNA overload
This phase is the "quality assurance" phase. Where internal regulators check replicated DNA to ensure there are no errors
G2 phase
Phase of the cell cycle is when the nuclear envelope dissolves, and centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell.
Prophase
This is a cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
diploid
As a cell grows, it becomes more difficult for it to diffuse materials to the middle of the cell where it is needed.
Exchange of materials
Phase of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs
S phase
The phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and the spindles attach to the centromere.
metaphase
Cells like to maintain a high value for his ratio
