In this stage of mitosis, chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
100
This is one half of a duplicated chromosome.
What is a chromatid?
100
This is programmed cell death, caused by external our internal signals.
What is apoptosis?
100
This is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function
What is tissue?
100
This stage in the cell cycle consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What is mitosis?
200
This cycle includes gap 1, synthesis, gap 2, and mitosis.
What is the cell cycle?
200
This point in the middle of a duplicated chromosome holds it together.
What is a centromere?
200
This type of tumor is unmoving and less harmful compared to a spreading tumor.
What is a benign tumor?
200
This is a group of tissue that works together to perform similar or related functions.
What is an organ?
200
These are the proteins that DNA wraps around in chromosomes.
What are histones?
300
This external cell replaces itself approximately every two weeks.
What is a skin cell?
300
These are the ends of the chromosomes, which are repeated nucleotides that do not form genes.
What is a telomere?
300
This tumor is more dangerous than an unmoving tumor as it can spread through the bloodstream.
What is a malignant tumor?
300
This is a group of organs that perform similar functions.
What is an organ system?
300
During this phase of mitosis, sister chromatids separate from each other.
What is anaphase?
400
This stage in cellular division is not part of interphase, while also not part of mitosis. During this stage, the cell splits apart its cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
400
These can cause or make cancer develop faster.
What are carcinogens?
400
This is the process when unsocialized cells become specialized. They gain their mature forms and functions.
What is cell differentiation?
400
Single-celled organisms reproduce this way, while multicellular organisms use it for growth, development, and repair.
What is cell division.
500
This is the third stage of the cell cycle. This stage allows cells to carry out their normal functions and grow, along with reaching a very important checkpoint.
What is gap 2
500
This organelle creates the cell wall during cytokinesis in this type of organism.
What is a plant?
500
HeLa cells were removed from a tumor from this woman.
Who was Henrietta Lacks?
500
This cell has three different abilities.
1. Can divide and renew themselves for long periods of time.
2. Can remain undifferentiated in form
3. Can develop into a variety of specialized cells.
What is a stem cell?
500
This is another term for cancer cells. These cells are useful to researchers, while they are dangerous when still in the body.
