100
This is the first phase of mitosis.
What is prophase?
100
This is the study of cancer.
What is oncology?
100
This organelle contains the vast majority of a cells DNA.
What is the nucleus?
100
This is tightly and repeatedly coiled DNA.
What is a chromosome?
100
During cytokinesis the cell cytoplasm completely separates. This is called:
What is cleavage?
200
DNA replication happens during this stage.
What is S phase?
200
When a group of cancerous cells are likely to invade other tissues of the body they are known as this.
What is malignant?
200
These organelles are responsible for the creation of spindle fibers.
What are centrioles?
200
A mass of cells growing out of control is known as this.
What is a tumor?
200
This structure is at the center of sister chromatids.
What is the centromere?
300
At this point the double chromosomes are lined up at the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
300
These genes are responsible for starting cell division.
What are proto-oncogenes.
300
This organelle moves to opposite poles of the cell in order to aid in the separation of the chromosomes.
What are the centrioles?
300
This is the name for the two cells which exist after cytokinesis is complete.
What are daughter cells?
300
The first line of immortal cells were cancerous and were unwittingly donated by this person.
Who was Henrietta Lacks?
400
G1, S, and G2 are a part of this.
What is Interphase?
400
This term describes small changes in the DNA of a cell. Such changes may be beneficial, harmful, or neither.
What is mutation?
400
When a chromosome is in the uncoiled state, it is referred to as this.
What is chromatin?
400
These cells are densely packed and make up our skin, as well as the linings of our esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, among other things.
What are epithelial cells?
400
This is cancer of the blood forming tissues.
What is leukemia?
500
During this phase, spindle fibers connect to the centromere.
What is metaphase?
500
These two types of genes are typically responsible for regulating mitosis.
What are proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes?
500
This occurs when cells are no longer needed or are a threat.
What is apoptosis?
500
This gene is activated when tissues need repair or replacement through cell division.
What is the proto-oncogene?
500
African or European?
