Cell Development & Differentiation
This is the term for an undifferentiated cell that can develop into various specialized cell types.
What are stem cells?
This phase of the cell cycle is characterized by cell growth and the production of proteins before DNA replication occurs.
What is G1 (Gap 1)?
This is the term for the uncontrolled division of cells, often due to a failure in the cell cycle’s regulation.
What is cancer?
This long, continuous strand of DNA contains thousands of genes and regulatory information, and is the fundamental structure of a chromosome.
What is a chromatid?
These signals, such as hormones or nutrients, that can affect the progression of the cell cycle.
What are external signals?
What famous summer camp movie series is making a return next year?
Camp Rock 3
In this phase, DNA is replicated, and chromosomes are duplicated.
What is S (Synthesis) phase?
This type of tumor remains clustered together and is typically harmless and easy to remove.
What is a benign tumor?
This part of the chromosome holds the two sister chromatids together and appears pinched.
What is a centromere?
These signals, particularly from the DNA, regulate the cell cycle.
What are internal signals?
This term describes the process where a fertilized egg (zygote) undergoes repeated cell division to create many identical cells.
What is mitosis?
During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This type of tumor breaks away from where they started and spread to other parts of body.
What are malignant tumors?
These are the two identical copies of a chromosome that form after DNA replication.
What are sister chromatids?
These are crucial in controlling the timing of the cell cycle and preventing uncontrolled growth.
What are checkpoints?
What is the most populated region on the globe
Asia
This final stage of mitosis involves the reformation of the nuclear membrane and the breakdown of spindle fibers.
What is telophase?
This process refers to programmed cell death, where cells self-destruct when damaged or no longer needed.
What is apoptosis?
If you have a cell that is 2n = 28, how many homologous pairs would you have.
14
This type of signal is generated when a cell becomes damaged and needs to self-destruct to prevent uncontrolled growth.
What is apoptosis?
These stem cells are found in bone marrow and are already partially differentiated, capable of becoming bone, blood, fat, and more.
What are adult stem cells?
This phase marks the separation of sister chromatids, which are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
What is a group of owls is called
a parliament
If the parent cell has 16 chromosomes, how many will the daughter cells have?
What is 16 chromosomes?
Checkpoints are usually after these stages in the Cell Cycle.
What is near the end of G1, at the G2/M transition, and during metaphase.
