25
Has stem cells the cells in blood, including red blood cells
Red Bone Marrow
26
Chromosomes condense; nucleus breaks down; mitotic spindle forms
Prophase
27
Chromosomes are lined up @ middle of the cell
Metaphase
28
Sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite sides of the cell
Anaphase
29
Genetically identical daughter nuclei form @ opposite ends of the cell
Telophase
30
About 90% of the cell cycle
Interphase
31
3 phases of cell cycle
g1, synthesis, g2
32
Chromosomes are duplicated
Synthesis (phase)
33
Growth phase before synthesis
g1
34
Growth phase after synthesis
g2
35
Overlaps later stages of mitosis
Cytokinesis
36
The division of the DNA, chromosomes in the nucleus
Mitosis
37
The division of the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
38
Eukaryotic Mitotic Phase consists of _
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
39
Subunits of the mitotic spindle
Amino Acids
40
A structure made of protein and helps the movement of chromosomes during mitosis
Mitotic Spindle
41
Best distinguishes things from the non-living matter
The ability to reproduce
42
The continuity of life based on the reproduction of cells
Cell Division
43
_ depend on cell division for reproduction, growth, development of a fertilized cell, and repair
Multicellular Organisms
44
In _ division of one cell reproduces the entire organism
Unicellular Organisms
45
Most cell division results in
daughter cells with identical genetic info
46
Exception to producing daughter cells will identical genetic info
Meiosis
47
Produces sperm and egg cells
Meiosis
48
All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell's
Genome
49
The complete set of genes or genetic material present in a cell or organism
Genome
50
A genome can consist of
a single DNA molecule (common with prok. cells) OR a number of DNA molecules (common in euk. cells)
51
DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into
Chromosomes
52
A single, very long molecule of DNA and protein that condenses during cell division
Eukaryotic Chromosomes
53
Every euk. species has a characteristic
number of chromosomes
54
In preparation for cell division, _
DNA is replicated and chromosomes condense
55
Each duplicated chromosome has
2 sister chromatids connected by the centromere
56
Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce by a type of cell division called
Binary Fission
57
The chromosome replicates, and the two daughter chromosomes actively move apart in
Binary Fission
58
In binary fission,
the two daughter chromosomes actively move apart, and the plasma membrane pinches inward, dividing the cell into two
59
_ do not respond normally to the body's control mechansisms
Cancer Cells
60
_ occurs when cells loose the ability to control the cell cycle and as a result divide uncontrollably
Cancer
61
Cancer occurs when _
cells loose the ability to control the cell cycle and as a result divide uncontrollably
62
A normal cell is converted to a cancerous cell by a process called
Transformation
63
If abnormal cells remain at the original site, the lump is called a
Benign Tumor
64
_ invade surrounding tissues
Malignant Tumors
