What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Interphase


100

Another term for a "body cell", which are diploid - meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes. 

What are somatic cells?

100
Chromosomes make an exact copy of one another, they are now called...
What is Sister chromatids
100

Arguably this is the most important checkpoint which checks for cell size, growth factors, and DNA damage.

What is G1?

100

A tumor biopsy reveals cells that are cancerous and can travel to other parts of the body. This type of tumor is called ___.

What is malignant

200
What important event happens in S phase

What is DNA Replication/Duplication/Synthesis

200

In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes become visible?

What is prophase

200
The sister chromatids are held together by
What is Centromere
200

These proteins increase in production as the cell cycle progresses

What are Cyclins?

200

Why is cancer considered "uncontrolled cell division?"

What is because it does not abide by the checkpoints (cell regulations) =  proliferation. 

300

Process that occurs at the end of telophase before a cell re-enters G1?

Cytokinesis

300
Genetic Material that is very hard to see since it is not tightly coiled is known as
What is Chromatin
300
How are animal mitosis and plant mitosis different?
What is animal cells have centrioles and undergo cytokinesis, division of the cytoplasm; plant have the cell wall so they need a cell plate to form and separate the 2 cells.
300

What are the enzymes called that stay consistent in amount during the cell cycle

What are cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks)
300

p53 is an example of this...

What is tumor suppressor gene (or a anti-oncogene)?

400

What happens to the DNA content of a cell between G1 and G2?

What is it doubles (due to S phase)

400

Which phase of mitosis does the nuclear membrane re-appear?

What is telophase

400

What are the microtubules that help move chromosomes called

What are spindle fibers

400

What happens to the amount of MPF as the cell moves from G1 to the beginning of mitosis

What is it increases

400

When cancer spreads from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body.

What is Metastasis?

500

A cell that is not actively growing or dividing is in this phase of the cell cycle

G0

500

Which phase of mitosis happens the quickest?

What is anaphase

500

Where do spindle fibers originate?

from centrioles
500

List the checkpoints that the cell undergoes and what are they checking for?

What are:

G1 checkpoint: make sure cell is big enough, organelles are being replicated, 

G2 checkpoint: Make sure DNA was properly copied, any last minute things that need to be made, 

M checkpoint: make sure the chromosomes are attached properly at the equator

500

When cancer cells grow on top of other cells, it is lacking what cell control mechanism?

What is density dependence
