26
Q

What happens when cells reproduce

A

Some produce asexually when a single parent cell divides into two equal a size offspring or produces a small identical outgrowths on the parent organism

27
Q

What happens when a cell grows

A

Humans develop from a single fertilized egg into an organism of about 6×10 to the power of 13 cells

28
Q

What happens when cells repair damage

A

100 different types of cells with different specialized jobs and every second they must be replaced once dead

29
Q

Interphase

A

DNA is replicated and cell grows

30
Q

Prophase

A

Chromatin become X shaped, nucleolus and nuclear membrane become to break down and spindle fibers form

31
Q

Metaphase

A

Duplicated chromosomes of line along the equilateral plate and nucleus and nuclear membrane have completely disappeared

32
Q

Anaphase

A

Sister chromatids separate from each other as there pulled by spindle fibers

33
Q

Telophase

A

Chromosomes begin to unwind, nuclear envelope in nucleolus reappear

34
Q

Cytokines

A

Division of cytoplasm, membrane pinches off

35
