100
The longest part of the cell cycle when cells are performing normal functions is called this.
What is interphase?
100
This is the first phase of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope disappears
What is prophase?
100
Another name for meiosis comes from the number of chromosomes that result in the daughter cells as compared to the number in the parent cell.
What is reduction division.
100
This is the name of the cell that is formed when a sperm penetrates an egg cell and their nuclei fuse.
What is a zygote.
100

This is a type of treatment for cancer

What is chemotherapy or radiation

200
In this phase a cell will copy its DNA.
What is Synthesis or S Phase.
200
The daughter cells from mitosis are genetically _____ as compared to the parent cell.
What is identical?
200

This is the name scientists give to the daughter cells produced in meiosis. (another name for  sperm or egg)

What are gametes?

200

This is where fertilization occurs.

What is the uterus?

200

This is how normal cells "kill themselves" so they don't become cancerous.

What is apoptosis?

300
Before the cell will enter mitosis, the cell performs these to look for errors.
What are checkpoints?
300
This occurs after telophase, when the cell divides the cytoplasm and other organelles.
What is cytokinesis.
300
This is the phase in which crossing over occurs.
What is prophase 1
300

A human zygote has ___ number of chromosomes.

What is 2n or 46 or 23 pairs

300

Cancerous cells do this to the cell cycle or cell division

What is speed up and uncontrollable growth

400
A cell that has errors in the cell cycle or ignores signals to stop dividing or to die may form this.
What is cancer?
400
In this phase, the spindle fibers retract, pulling the chromatids apart.
What is anaphase.
400

The result of meiosis.

What is a genetically different haploid cells.

400

This process occurs just after fertilization to form new cells.

What is mitosis?

400

Cancer cells are caused by _____ cells.

What are mutated cells?

500

The unwinding of DNA for replication is done in this phase.

S-PHASE or synthesis (Interphase)

500

This cell type undergoes mitosis very quickly in an adult human.

What is skin, stomach lining, hair, etc.

(SOMATIC)

500
This is a result of independent assortment in meiosis.
What is genetic variation.
500

The type of reproduction with of 1 parent cell ending in two genetically identical daughter cells

What is asexual reproduction?

500

The part of the cell cycle that must be regulated in order to stop the growth of cancer cells.

What is the S-phase (synthesis phase)?
