The Cell Cycle

Question 1

what are the stages of the cell cycle?

Answer 1

interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase, cytokinesis

Question 2

Interphase

Answer 2

the period when a cell grows and prepares for division
G1-Cell growth, S-Genetic material replicates, G2-more growth

Question 3

prophase

Answer 3

Prepare; 2 centriole pairs move to opposite ends of the cell, nuclear envelope dissappears

Question 4

metaphase

Answer 4

Middle; chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes

Question 5

Anaphase

Answer 5

Apart; the chromatids are pulled apart and seperate

Question 6

Telophase

Answer 6

Two; chromosomes unravel into chromatin, two nuclear envelopes begin to form

Question 7

cytokinesis

Answer 7

division of the cytoplasm

Question 8

Cell death-Apoptosis

Answer 8

Normal Programmed cell death(sun burn peeling, webbing fingers and toes in the womb)

Question 9

stem cells

Answer 9

cells that are not specialized; when they divide, they produce one stem cell and one progenitor cell.

Question 10

what is a progenitor

Answer 10

a cell that is partially specialized and will divide to become a few types of cells

Question 11

Cell Differentiation

Answer 11

The process of specialization
