Q

In this process of Mitosis the chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The centrioles separate, and a spindle begins to form. The nuclear envelope breaks down.

Q

In this process of Mitosis the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere.

16
Q

A protein that regulates the timing in a eukaryotic cell.

A

Cyclin

17
Q

Allows the cell to proceed only when certain processes have happened inside the cell.

A

Internal Regulator

18
Q

Direct cells to speed up or slow down the cell cycle.

A

External Regulators

19
Q

A disorder in which the cells have lost the ability to control their own rate of growth and division.

A

Cancer

20
Q

What is the defect gene in cancer called?

A

Gene p53

21
Q

What are two types of cancer treatment and what are they?

A

Radiation-burns/internal lazor

Chemotherapy-iv/chemicals

22
Q

cell membrane is pinched into two equal parts.

A

animal cells

23
Q

cell plate devlops first, and then a cell wall begins to appear.

A

plant cells

24
Q

What is the difference and the similiarity between an animal cell and a plant cell?

A

The cytoplasm divides and the 2 new daughter cells form. The difference is that plant cells develops a cell plate before they start the process.
