This type of cell division conserves genetic information
What is Mitosis?
100
This can occur if a cell makes it through a checkpoint mistakenly
What is cancer?
100
This type of cell division mixes up genetic information
What is Meiosis?
200
This cellular checkpoint checks for cell size, growth factors, and mistakes made during cellular division
What is the G1 checkpoint?
200
These types of cells go through Meiosis
What are germ cells?
200
List two eukaryotes that undergo binary fission:
What are algae, starfish, jellyfish?
200
This is the longest phase of Meiosis
What is prophase I?
200
This cellular checkpoint checks for cell size, doubling of organelles and cytoplasm, and mistakes made during DNA replication
What is the G2 checkpoint?
300
What occurs during S phase?
What is DNA replication?
300
These are FOUR examples of somatic cells
What are brain cells, skin cells, liver cells, bone cells, cartilage cells, hair cells, eye cells, anything other than sperm and egg cells?
300
These three types of cell division are performed in bacteria and some simple eukaryotes
What is binary fission/budding/cloning?
300
Interphase is defined as
What is all phases (G1, S, G2) other than cell division (M phase)?
300
This system is responsible for running cell checkpoints
What is the immune system?
400
This is the longest phase of the cell life cycle AND why
What is S-phase and because during DNA replication, billions of pieces of information are being copied?
400
These cell types are classified as having one complete set of chromosomes
What are haploid cells?
400
These cell types have two complete sets of chromosomes
What are diploid cells?
400
Mitosis and Meiosis are both carried out in these types of organisms
What are sexually-reproducing organisms?
400
In order, these are all the phases of the cell life cycle
What is G1, S phase, G2, and M phase?
500
This is the process of programmed cell death
What is apoptosis?
500
Mitosis AND Meiosis are both defined as this:
What are types of cellular division carried out by sexually-reproducing organisms?
500
These are all the phases of Meiosis I and Meiosis II in order (10 total)
What is 1) prophase I, 2) metaphase I, 3) anaphase I, 4) telophase I, 5) cytokinesis, 6) prophase II, 7) metaphase II, 8) anaphase II, 9) telophase II, and 10) cytokinesis?
