one of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope
What is a centriole?
100
This occurs before mitosis begins in the S (synthesis) phase of Interphase.
What is DNA replication?
100
G1, S, and G2.
What are the stages of Interphase?
100
Disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth
What is cancer?
100
part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
What is mitosis?
200
an unspecialized cell that can become any type of cell in the body
What is a stem cell?
200
This is the longest part of the cell cycle
What is Interphase?
200
During this phase, the chromosomes become visible.
What is Prophase?
200
This is the protein that DNA produces to start new stages in cell division.
What is cyclin?
200
first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
What is prophase?
300
one of two identical “sister” parts of a duplicated chromosome
What is chromatid?
300
This ratio determines when the cell will begin division.
What is surface area to volume ratio?
300
During this phase, the chromosomes line up across the equator of the cell.
What is metaphase?
300
This is when certain processes or functions of the cell are evaluated before proceeding to the next stage of cell division.
What is a checkpoint?
300
during the early part of this phase of mitosis the mitotic spindle attaches to the centromeres of chromosomes
What is metaphase?
400
area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
What is the centromere?
400
To maintain efficiency in the cell; growth of the organism
What is the purpose of the cell cycle?
400
Chromosomes are made up of this substance which carries the cell's coded genetic information,and proteins
What is DNA?
400
This is the enzyme that works with cyclin.
What is CDK?
400
the phase of mitosis during which the chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
What is anaphase?
500
fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes during mitosis
What is a spindle apparatus?
500
growing cell divides forming two “daughter” cells.
What is cell division?
500
During this phase, the centromeres that join the sister chromatids split, allowing the sister chromatids to separate and become individual chromosomes.
What is anaphase?
500
This is the cell's self destruct program if something goes wrong during cell division.
What is apoptosis?
500
phase of mitosis during which the nuclear membranes reappear
