100

The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell

What is mitosis

100
The process by which the chromosome number is halved.
What is meiosis?
100

A cell with a full set of chromosomes. 

What is diploid? 

100
the longest phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
100
the phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
200
The number of phases in mitosis.
What is four?
200

The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.

What is two?

200

This is attaches to the middle of the chromosomes to pull them apart during metaphase and anaphase. 

What are spindle fibers?

200

The phase where a cell will “rest”

200
the phase when chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
What is anaphase?
300
the longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
what is prophase?
300
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation

300
The part of the chromosome that the spindle fiber attaches to.

400
the name of reproductive cells
What are gametes?
400

the role checkpoints play in the cell cycle.

What is the ability to check for errors in DNA that may lead to cancer? 

400
the phase where the cytoplasm pinches off
What is cytokinesis?
500
The purpose of mitosis
What is the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
500
This is placed after the phase to indicate the cycle that it is in.
What is a roman numeral?
500

Name the term for cells that are unspecialized and can turn into any cell in the body. 

What are stem cells? 

500
The phase in interphase where DNA is replicated.
What is S phase?
500
the phase where chromosomes become visible
What is prophase?
