Santa Clause
During which phase of the cell cycle does a cell replicate its chromosomes?
S
In what stage of mitosis is the nuclear membrane reformed around each set of chromosomes
Telophase
exact copies of DNA attached at the centromere are called
sister chromatids
This is the process by which a cell becomes specialized
Differentiation
Which kind of reproduction produces organisms different from the parent organism
Sexual
What is the phase of mitosis during which the chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
the cell cycle
G1, S, and G2 are all part of what phase of the cell cycle
Interphase
Which kind of stem cells can become any cell in the body
Totipotent
Which kind of cell only divides to produce its own kind of cell
The areas on chromosomes that attach sister chromatids to on another are called the
centromeres
A tumor that has spread to other tissues is called
Malignant
Asexual reproduction can be advantageous because it is
fast
Sister chromatids are produced during this phase
S
During which phase of the cell cycle is the cell growing in size and increasing its number of organelles
G1 and G2
During which phase of the cell cycle is cytokinesis taking place
M - Mitotic Phase
During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicating
S
This cell has limited potential to develop into many types of differentiated cells
Multipotent
An unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
stem cell
Cells that are able to develop into ANY type of cell found in the body
Totipotent
The developing stage of a multicellular organism
Embryo
the stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells
Blastocyst
The process of programmed cell death
Apoptosis
A mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue
Tumor
A disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control growth
Cancer
