Cell organelles
Holds our genetic information and shaped like an egg
What is Nucleus?
During this phase, the DNA is
synthesized into identical pairs of
DNA molecules.
What is the S phase?
When immature cells transform into specialized cells with unique structures and functions, such as muscle cells or blood cells
What is Differentiation?
Diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells?
What is Cancer?
chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
What is anaphase?
Which cells do not have a nucleus
What is prokaryotes
Cell spends 90% of its time here (Normal cell life)
What is interphase
All the cells in an organism's body that are not involved in reproduction
What is Somatic cells?
Cancer happens because the cells remain too long in the DNA Replication part of Interphase, T/F?
FALSE
Cells not replicating properly can results in this
What is telophase?
Which type of cells have a nucleus?
What are Eukaryotes?
What are the 2 compartments of the cell cycle?
What is Interphase and M phase
The ordered series of events leading to a cell's growth and division into two identical daughter cells
What is the cell cycle?
abnormal tissue masses formed from uncontrolled cell division
What are Tumors?
Chromosomes within the nucleus condense and become visible. This is done by compaction and further coiling of each sister chromatid. Outside of the nucleus, spindle fibers start to form
What is prophase?
Which of the structures listed below do all
cells have in common?
What is cell membrane and DNA?
What are the stages of M phase in order
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telaphase
Strings that controls chromosome movement away from each other during mitosis
What are spindle fibers
2 reasons cancer is developed
abnormal cells KEEP dividing (uncontrolled growth) or they DO NOT die off
In order to divide correctly, spindle fibers maneuver the chromosomes to where they line up in the center of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
What organelles are only in animal cells
What is centrioles and lysosomes?
The physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
What is cytokenisis
A form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms
What is Apoptosis?
What would happen if a cell had a mutation that causes an increase in apoptosis?
Tissue atrophy and cell loss because cells that are needed by the body are destroyed (most cells would die)
During this phase, the cell divides it's
copied DNA and cytoplasm, creating two new cells.
What Miotic phase or Mphase ?
