Mitosis
The phases of Mitosis are
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, aand Telophase?
The cytoplasm divides during this phase
What is cytokinesis?
Cancer is...
What is uncontrolled and unregulated cell growth?
Cancer can develop when cells skip the normal “checkpoints” in this cycle and start dividing too quickly.
What is the cell cycle?
This bird is traditionally the center piece of most American Thanksigiving celebrating
What is turkey?
During Prophase DNA becomes organized into this
What are sister chromatids / chromosomes?
The point of Mitosis
What is create two new identical daughter cells?
This type of tumor does not invade nearby tissues and is considered not severe
What is benign?
This disrupts normal cell-cycle checkpoints can cause cells to divide uncontrollably
What are mutations?
This force keeps planets in orbit around the Sun and holds you firmly on Earth’s surface
What is gravity?
During Metaphase the spindle fibers attach to the sister chromatids at the centromere to do this.
What is move the sister chromatids to the middle of the cell?
This organelle is duplicated into each daughter cell during Telophase
What is the nucleus?
This happens when a tumor becomes (cancerous) malignant
What is it invades nearby tissues and can spread to other parts of the body?
Cancer cell growth is considered uncontrolled because
What is they bypass their cell growth checkpoints?
Ms. Schaeffer was a huge fan of this British boyband that became popular in the 2010s
What is One Direction?
Mitosis occurs after this phase in the cell cycle
What is interphase?
During this phase the sister chromatids are pulled away from the middle to the ends of the cell
What is Anaphase?
When substances like UV radiation or tobacco chemicals damage DNA, they can create mutations in genes that control the cell cycle. These mutation-causing agents are known by what term?
What are carcinogens?
Cancer can begin when DNA damage goes unchecked during this stage before mitosis, allowing harmful mutations to pass to new cells
What is interphase?
This process describes how water moves from an area or high concentration to an area of low concentration
What is osmosis?
This type of cell divides as a result of Mitosis
What are somatic cells (autosomes)?
The identical daughter cells have this many chromosomes each
44 chromosomes
What are two major causes of cancer?
Mutations in DNA caused by factors like carcinogens or inherited genetic mutations
When cancer cells undergo repeated faulty mitosis, they can break away and spread to new organs, a process known by this term
What is metastasis?
Ms. Schaeffer's favorite color
What is green?
