Cell division
100

Chromatin cells coils into chromosomes, nucleus envelope disappears, centrioles make to poles, spindle fibers form. (Prepares)

Prophase

100

the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division.

Mitosis

100

Cells grow and duplicates organelles 

G1

100

Cells that fail to stop at the required checkpoints can divide too rapidly and live much ______ than normal cells.

Longer

100

_____ Reproduction involves the joining of 2 reproductive cells- one from each of 2 parents.

Sexual 

200

Chromosomes attached by centromeres to the spindle fibers & line up along the middle of the cell. (Middle)    

Metaphase

200

The physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Cytokinesis 

200

Cells copies it chromosomes 

S

200

When pieces of DNA are _________,  they do not correctly code for the proteins that regulate the cell cycle. 

Damaged

200

The genetic material in a __________ cells is found in the nucleus.

Eukaryotic 

300

Centromeres split, Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell. (away)

Anaphase

300

A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell.

Chromosome 

300

Cell grows and ¨checks¨ duplicated chromosomes

G2

300

DNA damage can be caused by _______ to carcinogens and even viruses. 

Exposure 

300

Most _________ organisms reproduce through asexual reproduction.

Unicellular 

400

Chromatids reach poles (ends) of the cells,  Nuclear envelope forms around chromosomes spindle fibers disappear (Two) 

Telophase

400

regulates the activity of their Cdk partners and also modulate their substrate specificity

Cyclin

400

Divided into 3 parts

Interphase

400

If the tumor has not spread, it can be removed through _________. 

Surgery 

400

During most of the cells life, it is arranged in long strand called __________. 

Chromatin

500

Divides the cytoplasm

Cytokinesis

500

how unicellular organisms reproduce 

Asexual

These treatments will rapidly dividing cells through targeted beams of radiation of specialized chemical ________.  

Radiation & Chemotherapy 

500

The DNA is wrapped around proteins called ______ and then organized into X-Shaped Chromosomes 

Histanes
