Bio Cell Cycle

Question 1

anaphase

Answer 1

tertiary phase of the cell cycle where DNA replicates and the Cell begins to pull apart.

Question 2

Cell Cycle

Answer 2

The process of a cell’s life in which it divides.

Question 3

telophase

Answer 3

The Final step of the cell cycle when the cell divides during cytokinesis.

Question 4

binary fission

Answer 4

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two, each part carrying one copy of genetic material

Question 5

mitosis

Answer 5

a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Question 6

metaphase

Answer 6

The second phase of cell division when the chromatids line up in the middle, connected by the centromere and being pulled on by microtubules.

Question 7

differentiation

Answer 7

Cell differentiation is when cells stop dividing and change for a specific function/job in the body.

Question 8

cleavage furrow

Answer 8

In cell biology, the cleavage furrow is the indentation of the cell’s surface that begins the progression of cleavage, by which animal and some algal cells undergo cytokinesis, the final splitting of the membrane, in the process of cell division.

Question 9

mitotic spindle

Answer 9

The mitotic spindle is the macromolecular machine that segregates chromosomes to two daughter cells during mitosis.

Question 10

Benign Tumors

Answer 10

Benign Tumors. Benign tumors are those that stay in their primary location without invading other sites of the body

Question 11

interphase

Answer 11

The phase in which cells grow and prepare for mitosis.

Question 12

cytokinesis

Answer 12

the final stage when the cell divides into 2 daughter cells.

Question 13

metastasis

Answer 13

When cancer cells spread away from their original location into other parts of the body.

Question 14

malignant tumor

Answer 14

Malignant tumors are tumors that have divided uncontrollably away from their original location leading to life-threatening cancer.

Question 15

prophase

Answer 15

The first phase of mitosis when the nuclear envelope breaks down and the DNA condenses.

Question 16

oncogene

Answer 16

An oncogene is a mutated gene that has the potential to cause cancer.

Question 17

proto-oncogene

Answer 17

Proto-oncogenes are stimulators that affect normal cell growth and can become cancerous if they turn into oncogens.

Question 18

centrosomes

Answer 18

Centrosome - Structure And Functions Of Centrosome
A centrosome comprises two microtubule rings known as centrioles. Its main function is to organize the microtubules and provide a structure to the cell.

Question 19

S phase

Answer 19

The S phase, occurring between the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle, is when DNA replication and much of the DNA repair activity occurs in cells.

Question 20

tumor-suppressor genes

Answer 20

Inhibitors that stop the cell cycle at each checkpoint.

Question 21

apoptosis

Answer 21

programmed cell death

Question 22

carcinogens

Answer 22

Things that can create mutagens which can create mutations which could create cancer.

Question 23

stem cell

Answer 23

Cells that other cells come from

Question 24

G1 checkpoint

Answer 24

Enough growth to begin replication

Question 25

G2 checkpoint

Answer 25

DNA replication was done correctly. If it doesn’t pass it goes into Apoptosis or g-zero.
