Interphase
This is the number of phases there are in the Interphase phase of the cell cycle.
What is three?
Spindle Fibers are made, Nuclear membrane disappears, and DNA condenses into chromosomes
What is Prophase?
This is the bundled up, condensed form of DNA.
What is a chromosome?
What are the two main phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase and Mitosis
This is a clump or mass of cancerous cells caused by cells growing uncontrollably.
What is a tumor?
This happens during the S phase of Interphase.
What is DNA replication?
This occurs during telophase.
What is the chromosome begin to decondense and the nuclear membranes form around each new nuclei?
This connects two sister chromatids together.
What is the centromere?
What happens to the original cell when it divides into daughter cells?
It no longer exists.
What cells enter when they are removed from the cell cycle. The cell can only return to the cycle after fixing any mistakes or when there is enough resources/good conditions to divide.
What is the G0 phase?
This phase of Interphase is the longest and is a period of cell growth.
What is the G1 phase?
Chromosomes are pulled to the middle by the spindle fibers and form a line
What is Metaphase?
This is the uncondensed form of DNA where it is rolled up onto histone proteins.
What is chromatin?
Mitosis and binary fission are both this kind of reproduction.
What is asexual?
When a cell cannot fix the damages found at one of the checkpoints, it commits cell death through this process.
What is apoptosis?
During this phase of Interphase the cell is preparing for cell division.
What is the G2 phase?
This occurs during anaphase.
What is the spindle fibers begin pulling the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell?
Before the DNA is replicated, a chromosome consists of one of these.
What is a chromatid?
What is produced at the end of the Mitosis?
2 identical daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
This kind of tumor is the more dangerous of the two kinds of tumors because it invades other areas of the body.
What is malignant?
All of these things happen during Interphase.
What are rapid growth, replication of DNA and organelles, preparation for cell division?
This is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis
In mitosis, the nucleus and its contents divide.
In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm and its contents divide.
When a chromatid is replicated, they are called these.
What are sister chromatids?
This is the purpose of the cell cycle/mitosis for multicellular organisms.
What is it allows them to produce more cells for growth, to replace cells, and to repair damage.
These are the three checkpoints in the cell cycle.
What are G1, G2, and Metaphase checkpoints?
