Before a cell gets too large, it divides, forming two _______ cells.
daughter
What does the cell must do before it divides?
copy its genetic information
what is the division of cytoplasm?
cytokinesis
What is the name for cell division in the cell cycle?
M Phase
(True or false) There is no way for organisms to control cell growth and cell division.
false
The rates at which materials move through the cell membrane depend on the cell's ___________
surface area
What are the two main stages of eukaryotic cell division? ( prophase, interphase, mitosis, chromosomes, cytokinesis )
mitosis, cytokinesis
disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth.
cancer
Name the phases of the mitosis in order.
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
What is the protein that regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells?
cyclin
The rate at which food and oxygen are used up and waste products are formed depends on the cell's ____.
volume
Where are the genetic information found in eukaryotic cells? (cytoplasm, chromosome, centromere, cyclin )
chromosomes
Carries the cell's coded genetic information
DNA
In what phase, do chromosomes line up across the center of the cell? (The centromere of each chromosome attaches to the spindle)
Metaphase
(true or false) The skin cells near a cut would divide rapidly.
true
As a cell grows, which increases faster? volume or surface area.
volume
Chromosomes are made up of __________.
DNA
Cell Cycle
In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and new nuclear envelopes form?
Telophase
tumors
What is the ratio of surface are a to volume of a cube that is 1cm x 1cm x 1cm?
6:1
When are chromosomes visible?
only during cell division.
The time period between cell division.
Interphase
Describe how animal cell and plant cells differ in cytokinesis
Animal cells - cell membrane pinches
Plant cells - a cell plate forms then a cell wall
What is the role of spindle during mitosis?
It helps separate the chromosomes.
