Chromatid
is one of the two identical halves of a chromosome that has been replicated in preparation for cell division
Chromatin
refers to a substance found in the cell nucleus that’s composed primarily of DNA and proteins
Cleavage Furrow
an area of cell surface invagination that occurs during the process of cytokinesis
Daughter Cell
Either of the two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis
Kinetochore
responsible for mediating attachment of sister chromatids to the spindle microtubules (MTs) and for directing chromosome movement
Bleb

Cancer

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell
Induced pluripotent stem cells are derived from skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic-like pluripotent state that enables the development of an unlimited source of any type of human cell needed for therapeutic purposes
Cell Cycle Normally Vs Root Treatment (Low Water)
Low water had higher percentage of interphase
As water stress reduces rates of cell expansion in roots
Necrosis
is the death of the cells in your body tissues
Ethical Issues Of Stem Cells
moral and ethical concerns surrounding the destruction of human embryos
