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

The term for asexual reproduction where one cell splits into two daughter cells.

What is binary fission?

100

This is the name of the cell that is formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg cell.

What is a zygote?

100
This describes a stem cell and means that this cell is not yet a specific cell type.
What is an undifferentiated cell?
200

In this stage of interphase 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 term for the parent and budding offspring that do not detach from the parent.

What is a colony?

200

This forms about a week after the zygote and contains embryonic cells.

What is the blastocyst?

200
These stem cells are found in the early stages of development of an organism and can become any cell type.
What are embryonic stem cells?
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 term for the generation of offspring from a piece of the parent.

What is fragmentation or regeneration?

300

A human cell has this many chromosomes.

What is 46?

300

An iPS cell can do this.

What is become any cell type?

400
A cell may enter this resting phase where it is not dividing.
What is G0.
400

This cell type undergoes mitosis.

What is a eukaryotic cell?

400

This is the most common form of reproduction for a hydra or a cactus.

What is budding?

400

The term used for the development of a cell into specific cell types.

What is cell differentiation?

400

This is term for a cell that can become any type of cell.

What is totipotent?

500
A cell that has errors in the cell cycle or ignores signals to stop dividing or to die may form this.
What is cancer?
500
In this phase, the spindle fibers retract, pulling the chromatids apart.
What is anaphase.
500

When two parents are required to make an offspring, the offspring are genetically ___________.

What is diverse or different?

500

This process occurs just after fertilization to create new cells.

What is mitosis?

500
Stem cells found in your body tissues are called this.
What are adult or somatic stem cells?
