What are the stages of Mitosis, excluding Cytokinesis?

What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase?

100
It is a repeating series of events that describes the life of a cell.
What is the cell cycle?
100

A substance that regulates the cell cycle.

What are cell regulators?

100

These are the three steps in cell signaling.

What is reception, transduction, and response?

100

What comes after Mitosis?

What is Cytokinesis?

200

What are the initial and final results of a cell going through Mitosis?

Beginning: 1 Diploid Parent Cell End: 2 Identical Diploid Daughter Cells

200
During cell division, the DNA in eukaryotic cells is tightly packed and coiled into structures known as what?
What are chromosomes?
200
What is cyclin?
A protein that regulates the cell cycle.
200

This word refers to programmed cell death.

What is apoptosis?

200

What happens during Cytokinesis?

Cytoplasm is pinched into two nearly equal parts or a cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei.

300
Two new nuclei form during this stage of Mitosis.
What is Telophase?
300
In between cell divisions, DNA in eukaryotic cells is uncoiled and spread out in the form of what?
What is chromatin?
300

DNA wraps around _____ to form nucleosomes.

What is a protein known as histones?

300

Transduction is often accomplished through a phosphorylation cascade that activates and inactivated this type of enzyme.

What is kinase?

300

The process in which prokaryotes (bacteria) reproduce.

What is binary fission?

400

What is the longest stage of Mitosis?

What is Prophase?

400

What is located near the nucleus to help organize cell division?

What are centrioles?

400

TRUE or False: Once bound and activated, the Cdk signals the cell's exit from G1 and entry into G2 Phase.

FALSE

400

This type of cell surface receptorMia most common in human cells, and is involved in signaling pathways for smell, taste, and cell growth.

What is a G- Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR)?

400

Phase where DNA synthesis (replication) occurs; at the beginning, each chromosome is single and at the end there are two sister chromatids.

What is S phase?

500

What is Anaphase?

Anaphase is a phase in Mitosis where the chromosomes split in the middle and the sister chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles of the cell.

500

A specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape.

What are centromeres?

500

True or False: Cyclins do not regulate the timing of the cell cycle in prokaryotic cells.

TRUE

500

This small molecule is a common secondary messengers in transduction.

What is cyclic AMP?

500
Cells that don't divide go to this step.
What is G0 phase?
