Phases of Mitosis
First phase of mitosis
What is prophase?
As a cell increases in size, it usually does ot make extra DNA and the DNA would not be able to meet the needs of the growing cell, is an example of this concept.
What is DNA overload?
As a cell increases in size, this increases more rapidly.
What is volume?
The regulators of cell cycle and division.
What are cell cycle regulators?
The process that divides the cytoplasm during mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
The phase in mitosis that the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
The concept explaining that cells divide because as a cell grows, their volume increases faster than their surface area, preventing them from effectively exchanging materials with their environment.
What is exchanging materials?
Humans have 46 of these.
What are chromosomes?
Cell cycle regulators that come from inside the cell.
What are internal regulators?
The first person to read this entire thing and safely/quietly get out of their chair and start meditating on the floor gets a piece of candy.
What is paying attention to jeopardy?
The stage in mitosis where two new nuclei begin to form
What is telophase?
Chromosomes are visible during this stage.
What is cell division
The two connected copies of identical DNA.
What are sister chromatids?
Cell cycle regulators that come from outside the cell.
What are external regulators?
The process of cell division.
What is mitosis?
What is anaphase?
The "in-between" period of growth.
What is interphase?
When cells divide, the two new cells are called this.
What are daughter cells?
The disease that happens if the cell cycle is not properly regulated and cells divide uncontrollably.
What is cancer?
Two reasons that cells divide rather than growing bigger in size forever.
What is DNA overload and exchanging materials?
