980300008Winfield Scottthe main american military campaign that finally captured Mexico City was commanded by
980300009Lord AshburtonMan sent by England to Washington in 1842 to work things out with Secretary Webster over boundary disputes. He was a nonprofessional diplomat that was married to a wealthy American woman. Ashburton and Webster finally compromised on the Maine boundary. They split the area of land and Britain kept the Halifax-Quebec route. Settled the Carolina conflict.

Polk that 16 American service men had been killed or wounded on the Mexican border in American territory, Abraham Lincoln, then a congressman from Illinois, proposed these resolutions to find out exactly on what spot the American soldier's blood had been shed. In Polk's report to congress the President stated that the American soldiers fell on American soil, but they actually fell on disputed territory that Mexico had historical claims to. To find out were the soldiers fell was important because congress was near to declaring war on Mexico.

1043298093Cell CycleAn ordered sequence of events in the life of a cell
1043298094MitosisA process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells conventionally divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis conserves chromosome number by allocating replicated chromosomes equally to each of the daughter nuclei.
1043298095What are the five stages of mitosis?PPMAT Prophase Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
1043298096ProphaseThe first stage of mitosis, in which the chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes visible with a light microscope, the mitotic spindle begins to form, and the nucleolus disappears but the nucleus remains intact.
1043298097PrometaphaseThe second stage of mitosis, in which the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes.
1043298098MetaphaseThe third stage of mitosis, in which the spindle is complete and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all aligned at the metaphase plate.
1043298099AnaphaseThe fourth stage of mitosis, in which the chromatids of each chromosome have separated and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the poles of the cell.
1043298100TelophaseThe fifth and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun.
1043298101CytokinesisThe division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II.

1043298105ChromosomesA cellular structure carrying genetic material, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Each chromosome consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins
1043298106ChromatinThe complex of DNA and proteins that makes up eukaryotic chromosomes. When the cell is not dividing, chromatin exists in its dispersed form, as a mass of very long, thin fibers that are not visible with a light microscope
1043298107Somatic CellsAny cell in a multicellular organism except a sperm or egg or their precursors.
1043298108GametesA haploid reproductive cell, such as an egg or sperm. Gametes unite during sexual reproduction to produce a diploid zygote.
1043298109Sister ChromatidsTwo copies of a duplicated chromosome attached to each other by proteis at the centromere and sometimes, along the arms. While joined, two sister chromatids make up one chromosome. Chromatids are eventually separated during mitosis or meiosis II
1043298110CentromereIn a duplicated chromosome, the region on each sister chromatid where they are most closely attached to each other by proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences; this close attachment causes a constriction in the condensed chromosome.

1043298132MetastasisThe spread of cancer cells to locations distant from their original site.
1043298133MPFMaturation-promoting factor (or M-phase-promoting factor); a protein complex required for a cell to progress from late interphase to mitosis. The active form consists of cyclin and a protein kinase.
1043298134origin of replicationSite where the replication of a DNA molecule begins, consisting of a specific sequence of nucleotides.
1043298135somatic cellAny cell in a multicellular organism except a sperm or egg or their precursors.
1043298136transformation(1) The conversion of a normal animal cell to a cancerous cell. (2) A change in genotype and phenotype due to the assimilation of external DNA by a cell. When the external DNA is from a member of a different species, transformation results in horizontal gene transfer.

1043298184asexual reproductionA type of reproduction involving only one parent that produces genetically identical offspring by budding or by the division of a single cell or the entire organism into two or more parts.
1043298186How does Mitosis work?Mitosis makes it possible for organisms to reproduce asexually, by producing cells that carry the same genes as the parent cells. Note that all the chromosomes of the parent cell are replicated and passed on to the offspring cells. An offspring is literally a "chip off the old block" since its cells are genetically identical to those of the parent.
1043298188What is the advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variation than asexual reproduction. Each offspring inherits a particular combination of genes from two parents; so many combinations are possible that each offspring is essentially unique, differing from its siblings and both parents.
1043298189sexual reproductionA type of reproduction in which two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the gametes of the two parents.
1043298191diploid cellA cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent.
1043298193haploid cellA cell containing only one set of chromosomes (n).
1043298195MeiosisMeiosis is essential to sex, because it enables each parent to contribute one set of chromosomes-- half the total-- to each diploid offspring.
1043298196What happens in Meiosis I?In meiosis I homologous chromosomes pair up, and each pair separates, producing two haploid cells with their sister chromatids still joined.
1043298197What happens in Meiosis II?Meiosis II is like mitosis; sister chromatids separate and four haploid cells are formed. Note that each has half the chromosomes of the parent cell. These cells differ genetically from each other and from the cells of the parents.
1043298199What happens in Interphase?During the interphase prior to meiosis, chromosomes replicate.
1043298201What is Mitosis?Cell division that generates new cells for growth and repair. The division of one cell into two genetically identical daughter cells
1043298202What are the three roles of Mitosis?Growth Asexual Reproduction Replacement
1043298204What are the 7 Phases of the Cell Cycle?Interphase -S- Phase -G2 Phase Mitotic Phase -Mitosis -Cytokinesis G1
1043298206What happens in the mitotic phase?Cell division occurs during this short phase, which generally involves two discrete processes: the contents of the nucleus (mainly the duplicated chromosomes) are evenly distributed to two daughter nuclei, and the cytoplasm divides in two.
1043298208What happens in the S Phase?DNA synthesis (or replication) occurs during this phase. At the beginning of the phase, each chromosome is single. At the end, after DNA replication, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids.
1043298210What happens during Interphase?Typically, this phase accounts for 90% of the cell cycle. It is a time of high metabolic activity. The cell grows by producing proteins and organelles, and chromosomes are replicated.
1043298212What happens during mitosis?This is when division of the nucleus occurs. The chromosomes that have been replicated are distributed to two daughter nuclei.
1043298214What happens during G2?This third subphase of interphase is a period of metabolic activity and growth. During this phase the cell makes final preparations for division.
1043298216What happens during G1?This is the portion of the cell cycle just after division, but before DNA synthesis. During this time the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles.
1043298217What happens during cytokinesis?This is the step in the cell cycle when the cytoplasm divides in two.
1043298218Of what two processes does cell division consist of?Mitosis and Cytokinesis Cell division consists of two processes: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis— division of the nucleus and its chromosomes— is divided into five phases: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis, when the cytoplasm splits to form two separate daughter cells.
1043298219What happens during prophase?1. The nucleoli disappear 2. Chromatin fibers coil up to become discrete chromosomes. 3. Each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids, joined at the centromere. 4. Microtubules grow out from the centrosomes, initiating formation of the mitotic spindle.
1043298220What happens during prometaphase?1. The nuclear envelope breaks into fragments. 2. Some of the spindle fibers reach the chromosomes and attach to kinetochores, structures made of proteins and specific sections of DNA at the centromeres. 3. Nonkinetochore microtubules overlap with those coming from the opposite pole.
1043298221What happens during metaphase?1. The mitotic spindle is fully formed 2. The microtubules attached to kinetochores move the chromosomes to the metaphase plate, an imaginary plane equidistant from the poles.
1043298222What happens during anaphase?1. The two centromeres of each chromosome come apart, separating the sister chromatids. 2. Once separate, each sister chromatid is considered a full-fledged daughter chromosome. 3. Motor proteins of the kinetochores "walk" the daughter chromosomes along the spindle microtubules toward opposite poles 4. Microtubules shorten. 5. At the same time, the spindle microtubules not attached to chromosomes lengthen, pushing the two poles farther apart and elongating the cell.
1043298223What happens during Telophase?1. nuclear envelopes form around the identical sets of chromosomes at the two poles of the cell. 2. The chromosomes uncoil 3. Nucleoli appear in the two new nuclei. 4. Meanwhile, cytokinesis begins, splitting the cytoplasm and separating the two daughter cells.
1043298224How is Cytokinesis different in Animal Cells?In animal cells, cytokinesis begins with the formation of a cleavage furrow. At the site of the furrow, a ring of microfilaments contracts, much like the pulling of drawstrings. The cell is pinched in two, creating two identical daughter cells.
1043298225How is cytokinesis different in plant cells?In plant cells, cytokinesis begins when vesicles containing cell-wall material collect in the middle of the cell. The vesicles fuse, forming a large sac called the cell plate. The cell plate grows outward until its membrane fuses with the plasma membrane, separating the two daughter cells. The cell plate's contents join the parental cell wall. The result is two daughter cells, each bounded by its own continuous plasma membrane and cell wall.
1043298226G1 PhaseThe first gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase before DNA synthesis begins.
1043298227S PhaseThe synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated.
1043298228G2 PhaseThe second gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs.
1043298229CentrosomeA structure present in the cytoplasm of animal cells that functions as a microtubule-organizing center and is important during cell division. A centrosome has two centrioles.
1043298230Metaphase PlateAn imaginary structure located at a plane midway between the two poles of a cell in metaphase on which the centromeres of all the duplicated chromosomes are located.
1043298231Cleavage FurrowThe first sign of cleavage in an animal cell; a shallow groove around the cell in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate.
1043298232Cell PlateA membrane-bounded, flattened sac located at the midline of a dividing plant cell, inside which the new cell wall forms during cytokinesis.
1043298233Binary FissionA method of asexual reproduction by "division in half." In prokaryotes, binary fission does not involve mitosis, but in single-celled eukaryotes that undergo binary fission, mitosis is part of the process.

1029448975Cell CycleAn ordered sequence of events in the life of a cell
1039911465MitosisA process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells conventionally divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis conserves chromosome number by allocating replicated chromosomes equally to each of the daughter nuclei.
1039948737What are the five stages of mitosis?PPMAT Prophase Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
1039911471ProphaseThe first stage of mitosis, in which the chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes visible with a light microscope, the mitotic spindle begins to form, and the nucleolus disappears but the nucleus remains intact.
1039911470PrometaphaseThe second stage of mitosis, in which the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes.
1039911462MetaphaseThe third stage of mitosis, in which the spindle is complete and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all aligned at the metaphase plate.
1039911451AnaphaseThe fourth stage of mitosis, in which the chromatids of each chromosome have separated and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the poles of the cell.
1040964857TelophaseThe fifth and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun.
1040964858CytokinesisThe division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II.

1039948764asexual reproductionA type of reproduction involving only one parent that produces genetically identical offspring by budding or by the division of a single cell or the entire organism into two or more parts.
1039948765How does Mitosis work?Mitosis makes it possible for organisms to reproduce asexually, by producing cells that carry the same genes as the parent cells. Note that all the chromosomes of the parent cell are replicated and passed on to the offspring cells. An offspring is literally a "chip off the old block" since its cells are genetically identical to those of the parent.
1039948766What is the advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variation than asexual reproduction. Each offspring inherits a particular combination of genes from two parents; so many combinations are possible that each offspring is essentially unique, differing from its siblings and both parents.
1039948767sexual reproductionA type of reproduction in which two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the gametes of the two parents.
1039948768diploid cellA cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent.
1039948769haploid cellA cell containing only one set of chromosomes (n).
1039948770MeiosisMeiosis is essential to sex, because it enables each parent to contribute one set of chromosomes-- half the total-- to each diploid offspring.
1039948771What happens in Meiosis I?In meiosis I homologous chromosomes pair up, and each pair separates, producing two haploid cells with their sister chromatids still joined.
1039948772What happens in Meiosis II?Meiosis II is like mitosis; sister chromatids separate and four haploid cells are formed. Note that each has half the chromosomes of the parent cell. These cells differ genetically from each other and from the cells of the parents.
1039948773What happens in Interphase?During the interphase prior to meiosis, chromosomes replicate.
1039948774What is Mitosis?Cell division that generates new cells for growth and repair. The division of one cell into two genetically identical daughter cells
1039948775What are the three roles of Mitosis?Growth Asexual Reproduction Replacement
1039948776What are the 7 Phases of the Cell Cycle?Interphase -S- Phase -G2 Phase Mitotic Phase -Mitosis -Cytokinesis G1
1039948777What happens in the mitotic phase?Cell division occurs during this short phase, which generally involves two discrete processes: the contents of the nucleus (mainly the duplicated chromosomes) are evenly distributed to two daughter nuclei, and the cytoplasm divides in two.
1039948778What happens in the S Phase?DNA synthesis (or replication) occurs during this phase. At the beginning of the phase, each chromosome is single. At the end, after DNA replication, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids.
1039948779What happens during Interphase?Typically, this phase accounts for 90% of the cell cycle. It is a time of high metabolic activity. The cell grows by producing proteins and organelles, and chromosomes are replicated.
1039948780What happens during mitosis?This is when division of the nucleus occurs. The chromosomes that have been replicated are distributed to two daughter nuclei.
1039948781What happens during G2?This third subphase of interphase is a period of metabolic activity and growth. During this phase the cell makes final preparations for division.
1039950026What happens during G1?This is the portion of the cell cycle just after division, but before DNA synthesis. During this time the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles.
1039996078What happens during cytokinesis?This is the step in the cell cycle when the cytoplasm divides in two.
1039996079Of what two processes does cell division consist of?Mitosis and Cytokinesis Cell division consists of two processes: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis— division of the nucleus and its chromosomes— is divided into five phases: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis, when the cytoplasm splits to form two separate daughter cells.
1039996080What happens during prophase?1. The nucleoli disappear 2. Chromatin fibers coil up to become discrete chromosomes. 3. Each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids, joined at the centromere. 4. Microtubules grow out from the centrosomes, initiating formation of the mitotic spindle.
1039996081What happens during prometaphase?1. The nuclear envelope breaks into fragments. 2. Some of the spindle fibers reach the chromosomes and attach to kinetochores, structures made of proteins and specific sections of DNA at the centromeres. 3. Nonkinetochore microtubules overlap with those coming from the opposite pole.
1039996082What happens during metaphase?1. The mitotic spindle is fully formed 2. The microtubules attached to kinetochores move the chromosomes to the metaphase plate, an imaginary plane equidistant from the poles.
1039996083What happens during anaphase?1. The two centromeres of each chromosome come apart, separating the sister chromatids. 2. Once separate, each sister chromatid is considered a full-fledged daughter chromosome. 3. Motor proteins of the kinetochores "walk" the daughter chromosomes along the spindle microtubules toward opposite poles 4. Microtubules shorten. 5. At the same time, the spindle microtubules not attached to chromosomes lengthen, pushing the two poles farther apart and elongating the cell.
1039996084What happens during Telophase?1. nuclear envelopes form around the identical sets of chromosomes at the two poles of the cell. 2. The chromosomes uncoil 3. Nucleoli appear in the two new nuclei. 4. Meanwhile, cytokinesis begins, splitting the cytoplasm and separating the two daughter cells.
1039996085How is Cytokinesis different in Animal Cells?In animal cells, cytokinesis begins with the formation of a cleavage furrow. At the site of the furrow, a ring of microfilaments contracts, much like the pulling of drawstrings. The cell is pinched in two, creating two identical daughter cells.
1039996086How is cytokinesis different in plant cells?In plant cells, cytokinesis begins when vesicles containing cell-wall material collect in the middle of the cell. The vesicles fuse, forming a large sac called the cell plate. The cell plate grows outward until its membrane fuses with the plasma membrane, separating the two daughter cells. The cell plate's contents join the parental cell wall. The result is two daughter cells, each bounded by its own continuous plasma membrane and cell wall.
1040964861G1 PhaseThe first gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase before DNA synthesis begins.
1040964862S PhaseThe synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated.
1040964863G2 PhaseThe second gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs.
1040964864CentrosomeA structure present in the cytoplasm of animal cells that functions as a microtubule-organizing center and is important during cell division. A centrosome has two centrioles.
1040964865Metaphase PlateAn imaginary structure located at a plane midway between the two poles of a cell in metaphase on which the centromeres of all the duplicated chromosomes are located.
1040964866Cleavage FurrowThe first sign of cleavage in an animal cell; a shallow groove around the cell in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate.
1040964867Cell PlateA membrane-bounded, flattened sac located at the midline of a dividing plant cell, inside which the new cell wall forms during cytokinesis.
1040964868Binary FissionA method of asexual reproduction by "division in half." In prokaryotes, binary fission does not involve mitosis, but in single-celled eukaryotes that undergo binary fission, mitosis is part of the process.

1324461085The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, which is...Cell Division
1324461086Cell Cyclethe life of a cell from the time it is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two daughter cells
1324461087Genomea cell's endowment of DNA (the genetic information)
1324461088Chromosomesstructures where the DNA molecules are packed together
1324461089Chromatinthe entire complex of DNA and proteins that is the building material of chromosomes
1324461090Genesection of DNA that has the instructions for making one protein
1324461091Each duplicated chromosome has how many sister chromatids?2!
1324461092Sister Chromatidsjoined copies of the original chromosome, each containing an identical DNA molecule.
1324461093Centromerewhere the chromatid is attached most closely to its sister chromatid. The "waist" of the chromosome.
1324461094What needs to happen before cell division?DNA needs to be doubled
1324461095DNA replicationresults in two identical DNA molecules. Each new DNA molecule is half new and half from the old molecule.
1324461096Mitosisthe division of the genetic material in the nucleus, followed by cytokinesis. One cell has become two, which separates the sister chromatids, and each the genetic equivalent of the parent cell.
1324461097Cytokinesisthe division of the cytoplasm, after mitosis
1324461098The cell cycle consists of:1.) Interphase 2.) Mitosis 3.) Cytokinesis
1324461099Interphaseaccounts for 90% of cell cycle. a cell that is about to divide grows and copies its chromosomes in preparation for cell division
1324461100Sub-phases of Interphase:1.) G1 phase 2.) S phase 3.) G2 phase
1324461101G1 phaseFirst gap. Cell grows
1324461102S phaseSynthesis. Cell continues to grow as it copies its chromosomes
1324461103G2 phaseSecond gap. Cell grows more in prep. for cell division, then goes to mitosis where it divides.
1324461104Mitosis is broken up into four stages:1.) Prophase/prometaphase 2.) Metaphase 3.) Anaphase 4.) Telophase
1324461105Prophase/prometaphaseChromosomes condense. Nuclear membrane dissolves. Mitotic spindle forms.
1324461106MetaphaseChromosomes align along lateral plane
1324461107AnaphaseSeparate sister chromatids (separate exact DNA copies)
1324461108TelophaseChromosomes migrate to poles, prepares fro cytokinesis. Nuclear membrane reforms.
1324461109Cytokinesis in plantsCell plate - forms on the inside, goes out
1324461110Cytokinesis in animalsCleavage Furrow - works from the outside in
1324461111Cancerunregulated cell division
1324461112Tumormass of cells with no function
1324461113Benign tumorif tumor has no effect on surrounding tissue (noncancerous)
1324461114Malignant tumorif tumor invades surrounding tissue (cancerous)
1324461115Metastatic tumorif individual cells break away and start a new tumor elsewhere (cancerous)
1324461116Where can cancer cells travel?in the lymph and blood
1324461117Mutationchange in the information that a gene carries or a change in the sequence of nucleotides of a DNA molecule
1324461118Carcinogenssubstances that damage DNA and chromosomes
1324461119Proto-oncogenefunction protein only stimulates cell division when conditions are right, mutated protein can lead to overstimulation of cell division by overriding checkpoint control.
1324461121Tumor supressor genesProtein stops tumor formation by suppressing cell division, mutated protein fails to stop tumor growth
