Q

Eukaryotic cell cycle has ________ stages( the first 3 which is referred to as________

A

4 interphase

18
Q

Eukaryotic cell cycle

A

G, S, G2 and M

19
Q

In the G phase

A

the cell grows

20
Q

in the s phase

A

the cell replicates its DNA

21
Q

In the G2 phase

A

the cell produces organelles and materials for division

22
Q

In the M phase

A

the cell divides in 2 stages -mitosis and cytokinesis

23
Q

Interphase

A

period of growth and cell then prepares for division

24
Q

M phase is 4 stages

A

prophase
interphase
anaphase
telophase

25
genetic material in nucleolus condenses and duplicated chromosomes become visible (outside nuclous, spindle starts to form)
Phophase
26
proteins that stimulate growth/divison of cells signals
growth factors
27
Programmed cell death (key role in shaping structure of tissue/organs removes old damage cells
Apoptosis
28
cancer
bodys cells loose ability to control growth-disease or lack of homeostasis of cell cycle
29
cancer cells
do not respond to signals that regulate growth and divide uncontrollably
30
tumor that does not spread to rest of body
benign
31
tumor that spreads and invades healthy tissues
malignant
32
malignant skin cell cancer (heavy exposure to sun uv light)
carcinoma
33
Developmental stage from which an organism is gradually produced-begin as 1 cell
embryo
34
cells become specialized
Differentiation
35
During differentiation, cells turn
into various types
36
Adults reach point in which differentiation is
complete
37
fertilized cell between 1 egg nd 1 sperm
Zygote 23+23=46
38
unspecified cells from which differentiated cells develop found in embryo
stem cells
39
proteins that regulate the timing of cell cycle in eukaryotic
cyclins
40
a fertilized egg and the first few cells in an embryo are able to form many kind of cell and tissue. Such a cell is termed
totipotent
41
AN embryonic stage that consists of a hollow ball of cells. These cells are able to become any type of body cell
blastocyst
42
adult stem cells are
multipotent
