Q

Metaphase

A

The spindle fibers align in the equator of the cell

16
Q

Anaphase

A

Sister chromatids separate

17
Q

Telophase

A

A complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell

18
Q

Three reasons cells divide

A

For growth, replaced or damaged cells, and a source of reproduction for asexual cells

19
Q

Asexual reproduction

A

The creation of offspring from a single parent and does not involve the joining of gametes

20
Q

Sexual reproduction

A

When two gametes fuse and a genetic mixture of both parents is produced

21
Q

Budding

A

A small projection grows in the surface of the parent organism, forming a new individual

22
Q

Fragmentation

A

A parent organism splits into two pieces, which grow into a new organism

23
Q

Vegetative reproduction

A

The modification of a stem or underground structures of the parent organism. They stay connected through underground runners

24
Q

Binary fission

A

The asexual reproduction of single called organisms by division into 2 parts

25
Q

Cellular organization

A

Cell -> tissue -> organ -> organ system

26
Q

Stem cells- totipotent

A

Can grow into any other cell type. Only a fertilized egg is totipotent

27
Q

Pluripotent

A

Can grow into any other cell type except for totipotent

28
Q

Multi potent

A

Can grow into cells of a closely related cell family

29
Q

Cancer cells

A

Characterized by uncontrolled cell division. Occurs when the regular cell cycle breaks down

30
Q

Carcinogen

A

Anything that is cancers causing
