100
The reason why cells have to divide in order for us to grow
What is the less demands that are placed on the cells DNA and it is easier to move nutrients across the cell membrane
100
These are the four phases of the cell cycle
What are: G1, S, G2, M phases
100
This is the point at which the sister chromatids attach on the chromosome
What is the centomere
100
These are the phases that take place in Mitosis
What are: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
100
This protein is believed to regulate the cell cycle
What is Cyclin
200
The material that controls a cell's function
What is DNA
200
DNA replication happens in this phase of cell division
What is the S Phase (the synthesis phase)
200
Each chromosome consists of two of these
What are "Sister Chromatids"
200
This phase is the first and longest phase of Mitosis
What is Prophase
200
This is a disorder in which some of the cells of the body have lost their ability to control their growth
What is Cancer
300
How quickly food, oxygen, and water enter a cell is dependent on this
What is the Surface Area
300
This is the phase in which Mitosis actually takes place
What is the M Phase
300
This is the material that chromosomes are made up of
What is DNA
300
This is the phase in which the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell at a place called the equatorial plate.
What is Metaphase
300
This is the technical definition of a tumor
What is a mass of cancer cells
400
The volume of the cell increases faster than this when the cell becomes larger
What is the Surface Area
400
This is the phase that is termed "the in-between" period of growth
What is Interphase
400
Chromosomes are located in this organelle in the cell
What is in the nucleus
400
This is the step of Mitosis where the cytoplasm of the cell actually splits in half creating two identical daughter cells
What is Cytokinesis
400
Cells do this right after you get a cut or a bone breaks
What is start to divide rapidly
500
This is one of the reasons that cell division solves the problem of cell growth
What is the surface area increases when the cell divides OR the original volume of the cell is reduced
500
This is the name for the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
What is the Cell Cycle
500
Human body cells contain this number of chromosomes
What is 46 (23 pairs)
500
This is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis
What is helping to separate the chromosomes into sister chromatids
500
This is one of the factors that can stop normal cells from growing
What is coming into contact with other cells
