100
The phase when the chromosome pairs separate and move towards opposite poles.
What phase is Anaphase?
100
Identical "sister" cells of a chromosome.
What is a Chromatid?
100
The whole complete process by which a cell divides into two "daughter" cells...
What is Cell Division?
100
Where the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus is called this phase...
What is Prophase?
100
Three types of cell processes that move materials into and out of the cell.
What are diffusion, active transport, and osmosis?
200
Cytokinesis occurs after the function in the cell cycle that has four phases it goes through to produce two identical cells...
What happens after Mitosis?
200
Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide.
What is the Cell Cycle?
200
When this happens to a cell it, the cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane...
What happens during cell growth?
200
The period of a the cell cycle between cell divisions is called...
What is Interphase?
200
1. All living things are made of cells... 2.The cell is the basic unit of life... 3.Cells come from preexisting cells...
What is the Cell Theory?
300
A fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes during mitosis.
What is a Spindle?
300
One of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.
What is a Centriole?
300
The division of cytoplasm is called this...
What is cytokinesis?
300
Chromosomes are copied in this phase.
What is the Interphase?
300
This a type of cell process that moves materials which takes energy to do.
What is active transport?
400
The phase when the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material.
What is Telophase?
400
A disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth.
What is Cancer?
400
The division of the cell nucleus is called this complete process...
What is Mitosis?
400
Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers in this phase.
What is Metaphase?
400
The two kinds of nucleic acids are called this...
What are DNA and RNA?
500
Where chromatids are attached...
What is a Centromere?
500
The process where the cell makes a copy of the DNA in the nucleus.
What is replication?
500
Cytokinesis and Mitosis are...
What are the two main stages of Cell Division?
500
Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell in this phase.
What is Anaphase?
500
Mrs. D is this.
Who is our science teacher? :)
