During this stage of mitosis, the sister chromatids are pulled by motor proteins along the spindle apparatus toward the center of the cell and line up in the middle of the cell. The second stage of mitosis.
What is METAPHASE
100
The stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's nucleus and nuclear material divide.
What is MITOSIS
100
The uncontrolled growth and division of cells.
What is CANCER
100
As a cell grows, how quickly do the Surface area and the volume increase? They increase at the same rate, Volume increases quicker, or Surface Area increases quicker?
What is VOLUME INCREASES QUICKER THAN SURFACE AREA
200
The major stage of the cell cycle during which the cell grows, carries out cellular functions, and replicates or makes copies of its DNA in preparation for the next stage of the cycle.
What is INTERPHASE
200
The longest phase of mitosis. In this stage the cell's chromatin tightens, or condenses, into chromosomes. The first stage of mitosis
What is PROPHASE
200
Programmed cell death.
What is APOPTOSIS
200
The structures that contain the genetic material that is passed from generation to generation of cells. If altered it can change a cell into a cancer cell.
What is CHROMOSOMES
200
Unspecialized cells that can develop into specialized cells when under the right conditions. There are two types.
What is STEM CELLS
300
The stage of interphase when the cell prepares for the division of its nucleus. Third stage of interphase.
What is G2 STAGE
300
The stage of mitosis during which the chromosomes arrive at the poles of the cell and begin to relax, or decondense. Two new nuclear membranes begin to form. The last stage of mitosis.
What is TELOPHASE
300
A complex that signals the start of the various activities that take place in the cell cycle.
What is CYCLIN/CDK
300
Substances and agents that are known to cause cancer.
What is CARCINOGENS
300
Type of cell found in older humans that might be used to maintain and repair the same kind of tissue in which they are found.
What is ADULT STEM CELLS
400
The stage of interphase when a cell copies its DNA in preparation for cell division. 2nd stage of Interphase.
What is S STAGE
400
During this stage, the chromatids are pulled apart when the microtubules of the spindle apparatus shorten. The sister chromatids separate and move to the poles of the cell
What is ANAPHASE
400
The relaxed form of DNA in the cell's nucleus.
What is CHROMATIN
400
Structures that contain identical copies of DNA.
What is SISTER CHROMATIDS
400
Type of cell found in the mass of cells after a sperm fertilizes and egg. These cells have not become specialized and can develop into a wide variety of specialized cells.
What is EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS
500
The period immediately after a cell divides. The cell grows and carries out normal functions during this stage. 1st stage of interphase.
What is G1 STAGE
500
The division of the cytoplasm resulting in two cells with identical nuclei. Takes place at the end of mitosis.
What is CYTOKINESIS
500
The structure that moves the chromosomes before cell division. Made up of the spindle fibers, centrioles, and aster fibers.
What is SPINDLE APPARATUS
500
The structure at the center of the chromosome where the sister chromatids are attached.
What is CENTROMERE
500
During cytokinesis of a plant cell, this forms between the two daughter nuclei to form a cell wall.
