Mitosis
Interphase
100
The shape of DNA
What is "Double Helix"?
100
This happens to the DNA before a cell divides, during the S Phase of Interphase.
What is "DNA Replication"?
100
These types of cells follow strict control mechanisms for division, stop dividing when necessary, and undergo apoptosis if damaged.
What are "Normal Cells"?
100
Mitosis phase where the chromatin condense into visible chromosomes.
What is "Prophase"?
100
Phase where cell grows and performs normal functions.
What is "G1 Phase"?
200
A compact and organized form of DNA, but more relaxed than chromosomes.
What is "Chromatin"?
200
The name for chromosome that consists of two identical DNA molecules. (What are the identical DNA molecules called?)
What are "Sister Chromatids"?
200
Body cells that undergo mitosis.
What are "Somatic Cells"?
200
Name the phase.
What is "Metaphase"?
200
Phase where cell continues to grow and prepare for mitosis by producing necessary proteins and organelles.
What is "G2 Phase"?
300
The DNA double helix wraps around these special proteins.
What are "Histones"?
300
Sister chromatids are joined together at a central region, held together by this.
What is a "Centromere"?
300
This type of cell divides uncontrollably, do not respond to signals, and can invade other tissues.
What are "Cancer Cells"?
300
Checkpoint where cell examines whether all sister chromatids are correctly attached to spindle fibers.
What is the "M Checkpoint"?
300
Cell enters this phase when stopped at G1 Checkpoint.
What is "G0 Phase"?
400
The most compact form of DNA organization. A single, continuous thread of DNA that has been tightly coiled and folded.
What are "Chromosomes"?
400
Protein complex attached to centromere that links chromosomes to spindle fibers.
What are "Kinetochores"?
400
Reproductive cells that undergo meiosis.
What are "Gametes"?
400
Name of cytokinesis process that takes place in animals.
What is "Cleavage Furrow"?
400
Phases of interphase in chronological order.
What is "G1 Phase, S Phase, G2 Phase"?
500
The correct order of DNA Organization, starting from smallest form to largest form.
What is "Double Helix, Histones, Nucleosomes, Chromatin, Chromosomes"?
500
Pairs of chromosomes that have the same genes at same loci but different alleles.
What are "Homologous Chromosomes"?
500
Meaning of 2n and n.
What is "Diploid" and "Haploid"?
500
Chronological order of mitosis.
What is "Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase"?
500
A series of molecular steps that lead to a cell's death without causing an inflammatory reaction.
What is "Apoptosis"?
