Interphase
The stage in interphase when DNA is replicated
What is S-Pase?
Division of the cytoplasm
What is cytokinesis?
uncontrolled cell growth
what is a tumor?
A cell that is not specialized yet (generic)
What is a stem cell?
the process of copying DNA into RNA
What is transcription?
The stage after cytokinesis
What is G1?
The stage in mitosis when sister chromatids pull apart from the equator of the cell
What is anaphase?
a tumor that cannot spread to other tissues
What is a benign tumor?
A cell with potential to become any other type of cell (totipotent)
What is an embryonic stem cell?
the type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome
What is tRNA?
A cell enters this stage when it does not need to divide
What is G0?
The order of the four stages of mitosis
What is PMAT?
a tumor that can spread to other tissues
the reason why cells with the same DNA can look different and perform different functions
What is gene expression?
the most common molecule in the cell membrane
What is a phospholipid?
The number of checkpoints in interphase
What is 2?
Checks that each sister chromatid is attached to a spindle fiber and lined up along the equator of the cell
this treatment causes loss of hair, nausea, and thin nails
What is chemotherapy?
an adult stem cell that has been reverse engineered to become an embryonic stem cell
What is an iPSC? (induced pluripotent stem cell)
theory that chloroplast and mitochondria were once independent organisms that were engulfed by larger cells
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
the first enzyme used in DNA replication
What is helicase?
The formation in a plant cell that helps to divide the cell into two during cytokinesis
Cell plate
the least invasive cancer treatment that we discussed in class
What is immunotherapy?
stem cells can be injected into the bone marrow to treat this disease
