Mitosis
Longest phase of mitosis
prophase
At the end of the cell cycle, if you start with 1 cell, how many cells will you get?
2
cells have ______________ to monitor if anything goes wrong in the cell cycle
checkpoints
what is programmed cell death called
apoptosis
Order of the stages of mitosis
PMAT
What part of the chromosomes do the spindle fibers attach
centromere
interphase
mitosis
cytokinesis
what part of the cell cycle does cancer spend less time in compared to normal cells
interphase
unspecialized cells that can become specialized cells are known as what?
stem cells
This phase the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
metaphase
what is the name of the fiber that attaches to the chromosomes
spindle
which part of the cell cycle takes the longest
interphase
uncontrolled growth and division of cells because of the failure of regulating the cell cycle can cause what
cancer
how do the 2 cells at the end of the cell cycle compare?
identical
This phase chromosomes are at two opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei begin to form
telophase
What organelle do the spindle fibers attach to?
centrioles
What are the 3 parts of interphase in order
G1
s
G2
What two things control the process of the cell cycle
protein (cyclin)
enzyme (CDK)
What are the 2 kinds of stem cells
embryonic
adult
During this phase, the chromosomes are pulled apart
anaphase
What phase do centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell, nuclear envelope disappears, and chromosomes form
prophase
What is the last part of the cell cycle, and what part of the cell is split to form 2 cells?
cytokinesis
cytoplasm
What are substances or agents that cause cancer called?
carcinogens
where can the 2 kinds of stem cells be found, and how are they different?
embryonic- found in developing embryos, can develop into many kinds of cells.
Adult stem cells- found in developed tissues, and only turn into some kinds of cells
