Cell Regulation
Meiosis
100
The cycle of a cell's growing and dividing
What is the cell cycle?
100
The structures in the nucleus stat contain DNA
What are chromosomes?
100
During this stage the chromatids are pulled apart
What is anaphase?
100
These two things trigger the various activities that take place in the cell cycle.
What are cyclins/CDK's?
100
A cell with n number of chromosomes
What is a haploid cell?
200
The period when the cytoplasm divides and two cells are created
What is cytokinesis?
200
The relaxed or unwound form of DNA and proteins in the nucleus
What are chromatins?
200
The first and longest stage of mitosis
What is prophase?
200
The uncontrolled growth and division of cells
What is cancer?
200
this process is referred to as a reduction division and provides us with genetic variation, forming gametes
What is meiosis?
300
When the cell grows, carries out cellular functions, and copies its DNA
What is interphase?
300
What the sister chromatids are attached to their centers by
What is the centromere?
300
During this stage, the chromatids are pulled by motor proteins along the spindle apparatus toward the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
300
Substances that are known to cause cancer
What are carcinogens?
300
The process by which one haploid gamete combines with another haploid gamete
What is fertilization?
400
The process after interphase that occurs when the nucleus divides, and the chromosomes separate into two nuclei; occurs in 4 main stages
What is mitosis?
400
Half of the "X" that contains identical copies of DNA
What is a sister chromatid?
400
The purpose of this process is to regulate the cell, grow, and reproduce identical duplication.
What is mitosis?
400
A natural process of programmed cell death
What is apoptosis?
400
A process during which chromosomal segments re exchanged between a pair of homologous chromosomes
What is crossing over?
500
This name of the phase that is the process of mitosis and cytokinesis combines
What is the M phase?
500
This helps move and organize the chromosomes before cell division
What is the spindle apparatus?
500
When the chromosomes arrive at the poles of the cell and begin to relax, changing back to chromatin
What is telophase?
500
Unspecialized cells that have the potential to develop into specialized cells
What are stem cells?
500
A cell that contains 2n number of chromosomes
What is a diploid cell?
