Interphase
Interphase is divided into how many phases?
3
_______ is the process in which a cell becomes specialized in order to perform a specific function
How many daughter cells are created in mitosis?
2
What phase comes before cytokinesis?
Telophase
Cancer begins when?
A single cell is transformed into cancer
What is the purpose of interphase?
The purpose is for cell growth and preparation for mitosis and cytokinesis
Why do cells differentiate?
Because different genes can be expressed differently in different cells.
What phase is after metaphase but before telophase?
Anaphase
What are the 2 individual cells that are created during cytokinesis?
Daughter cells
What does the immune system do when the cell is damaged?
It destroys it

DNA
How many phases of mitosis are there?
What forms in the cell plate of a plant cell?
The cell wall
What happens if the damaged cell doesn't get destroyed?
It will continue to divide by mitosis and each daughter cell will become a cancer cell

the specific process involving different structures
Blastulas
In what phase do Chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
What forms in the middle of a separating during cytokinesis in animals?
Cell plate
What do cancer cells separate from?
Original tumor
Interphase comes last in a cell cycle.
True or false
During differentiation, what do the selected genes from DNA make?
Specific proteins that can't be found in other cells.
What is the organelle that produces spindle fibers?
Centrioles
What forms in the middle of a separating cell during cytokinesis in plants?
