Cell Anatomy
This holds the DNA of the cell
What is a nucleus?
The S-phase of interphase is when this happens
What is copying or synthesizing of the cells DNA?
Stem cells are notable because they can be described as this (not being able to be seen as dissimilar)
What is undifferentiated?
The definition of cancer.
What is the uncontrolled growth or division of cells?
The digestive system is designed to do this.
An organelle that converts chemical bonds into energy for the cell.
What is a mitochondria?
The phase of the cell cycle where the chromosomes (or chromatids) are lined up along the center of the cell
What is metaphase?
In the future stem cells might be used to "print" these.
What are organs?
Apoptosis means this.
What is "cell death"?
The circulatory system has the goal of doing this.
What is moving energy, materials, and/or waste around the body for use and disposal?
Plant cells have these 2 structures that animal cells do not. Name one:
What is a cell wall?/ What is a chloroplast?
The process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
Stem cells need to change the expression of this to change into the different cell types.
What is DNA?
A carcinogen is something that can change this.
What is a carcinogen?
The nervous system has the goal of doing this.
What is communicating signals to different parts of the body?
The organelle that "packages and ships" proteins around the cell.

Name one significant difference between meiosis I and II.
What is the number of cells produced (4)?
What is the amount of DNA in the cell (1/2)?
What is the number of chromosomes lined up along the center of the cell and separated?
This word describes the "multiple abilities" of stem cells, that includes the ability to change into any other cell type.
What is pleuripotent?
The name for a change in the DNA that moves a base pair or sequence to another position.
What is a translocation?
This type of cell clumps together in order to keep blood from exiting the body/
What are platelets?
