Interphase
This very specific phase is where DNA is Duplicated.
What is S phase?
Chromosomes align down the middle of the cell during this phase.
What is Metaphase?
The division of the cytoplasm into 2 individual cells.
What is Cytokinesis?
Half of these come from your mom and half come from your dad.
Chromosomes
If the message never gets through for a cell to stop dividing this can form.
What are tumors?
At the end of Interphase, before Mitosis begins, there are this amount of chromosomes.
What is 92?
These are the two main reasons for Cell Division.
What are growth and repair?
The nuclear membrane re-forms around chromosomes at each pole during this phase.
This is the middle region of the X'd sister chromatids that the spindle fibers attach to in order to pull them apart during Anaphase.
What is a centromere?
Adult versions of these are found in adult bone marrow and are partially differentiated, meaning that they can only become certain types of cells.
What are Stem Cells?
This is the first, whole cell that all humans begin as.
What is a zygote?
What is Anaphase?
The cell spends most of its life in this phase.
What is Interphase?
This is one-half of a duplicated chromosome.
Chromatid
These types of stem cells have never been differentiated and can become any type of cell.
What are embryonic stem cells?
During these two phases, proteins are being made through a process called protein synthesis.
Gap phases
DNA condenses into visible sister chromatids instead of loose chromatin during this phase.
These only show up during Mitosis and disappear after Telophase. Lazy workers!
What are centrioles?
This must be some kind of dance, they are telling identical chromatids to pair up.
Internal or external signals activate genes that produce self-destructive enzymes during this programmed cell death.
There are this many chromosomes during G1 Phase of Interphase.
What is 46?
A cleavage furrow forms in preparation of the cell to become two identical body cells during this phase.
When a cell is not actively dividing it is in this stage.
These are chromosomes in pairs that contain the same genes in the same order but have slightly different DNA sequences.
What are homologous chromosomes?
Cancer can be caused by this portion of a DNA strand being damaged, deleted, or mutated.
What is a gene?
