Cell Cycle Regulation
100
This stage of mitosis is seen when the chromosomes are split and sister chromatids are pulled to either side of the cell.
What is anaphase?
100
These cells of the body undergo mitosis.
What are somatic cells?
100
The starting point for spindle fibers in mitosis
What is the centrosome?
100
This is a mass of abnormal cells.
What is a tumor?
100
This is the term used to describe a critical control point by which a cell must pass before continuing through the cell cycle?
What is a checkpoint?
200
This portion of interphase is the phase in which growth of the cell begins.
What is G1 phase?
200
These are the only cells to undergo meiosis.
What are gametes?
200
This is the specific area of a centromere found on sister chromatids that the spindle fibers specifically attach.
What is a kinetochore?
200
The name given to a tumor that does not spread beyond its origin.
What is benign?
200
Cells that do not pass through a checkpoint enter this stasis phase.
What is G0?
300
This phase of mitosis is marked by the chromosomes lining along the middle of the cell.
What is metaphas?
300
When a chromosome is split, this is the name given to the halved chromosome.
What is a chromatid?
300
This is the name given to the imaginary line that the chromosomes line up on in metaphase.
What is the metaphase plate?
300
A tumor that grows beyond its origin point
What is malignant?
400
The phase of the cell cycle in which synthesis of DNA begins.
What is S-phase?
400
This is the portion of a chromosome that allows for the "X" shape and where spindle fibers attach.
What is the centromere?
400
The specific name given to cytokinesis in animal cells.
What is cleavage furrowing?
400
The term that is used to describe the process of cancer spreading throughout the body.
What is metastasis?
400
The complex formed by cyclin and kinases that aid the cell in passing through specific checkpoints.
What is a cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)?
500
This is the final phase of mitosis and is marked by the dividing of the cell via cytokinesis.
What is telophase?
500
The division of the cytoplasm. (General name)
What is cytokinesis?
500
The specific name given to cytokinesis in animal cells.
What is cell plate formation?
500
What year were cancer cells removed from a woman that are still growing and dividing today?
What is 1951?
500
This is a specific cyclin-dependent kinase that allows a cell to pass from the G2 phase to mitosis?
What is MPF?
