| 533009550 | binary fission | type of cell division that occurs in prokaryotic cells in which a parent cell divides into 2 identical daughter cells | |
| 533009551 | cancer | disease that occurs when the cell cycle is no longe regulated and cells divie out of control | |
| 533009552 | cell cycle | repeating series of events that a cell goes through during its life, including growth, DNA, synthesis, and cell division | |
| 533009553 | cytokenesis | process in which a parent cell divides to form 2 daughter cells. the cytoplasm splits in 2 and the cell divides. | |
| 533009554 | DNA replication | process of copying DNA prior to cell division | |
| 533009555 | interphase | stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle when the cell grows, synthesises, and prepares to divide. It is everything except mitosis and cytokenesis | |
| 533009556 | mitosis | process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell divides. also includes cytokenesis. normal everyday functions. | |
| 533009557 | tumor | abormal mass of cells that may be cancerous | |
| 533009558 | Three Steps that occur during binary fission: | 1. DNA replication 2. Chromosome segregation 3. cytokenesis | |
| 533009559 | cell division in eukaryotes | more complex, mitosis and cytokenesis | |
| 533009560 | cell division in prokaryotes | all one thing, don't stop long after each phase, bacteria 1000x smaller. Binarry Fission | |
| 533009561 | "Check Points" In cell cycle | check points ensure that the cell is ready to proceed before it moves on to the next phase. they make sure that the old phase is complete, and whether to start or delay the new phase. | |
| 533009562 | parts of cell cycle | G1, S, G2, M | |
| 533009563 | caner and the cell cycle | cancer occurs when the cell is no longer regulated. It can happen when a cells DNA is damaged. The cancer cells grow out of control and have no checkpoints. | |
| 533009564 | phases of mitosis | 1. prophase 2. metaphase 3. anaphase 4. telophase 5. cytokenesis | |
| 533009569 | cell apotosis | cell self destruction in g2 in case anything is wrong with the cell | |
| 533009570 | dilpoid | a cell with 2 sets of chomromosome- comes from mitois | |
| 533009571 | fertilization | sperm and egg producing and offspring | |
| 533009572 | gamete | reproductive or sex cell | |
| 533009573 | haploid | the number of chromosomes in a gamete- comes after meiosis | |
| 533009574 | information stored in a gene | information to make a trait or protein | |
| 533009575 | chromosomes | coiled up DNA | |
| 533009576 | chromatin | uncoiled DNA that can have its genetic code read | |
| 542012680 | Prophase (mitosis) | chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nucleur envelope breaks down, centrioles move to outside | |
| 542012681 | Metaphase (mitosis) | "middle" -spindle fibers attach to centromere of each pair os sistem chromatins- sister chromatins line up in the center of cell. | |
| 542012682 | Anaphase (mitosis) | sister chromatins are pulled apart and seperated by the spindle fibers (reeling a fish, fishing rod). -At the end of this phase each pole of the cell has a complete set of chromosomes | |
| 542012683 | Telophase (mitosis) | chromosomes begin to uncoil, spindles break down, new nucleur membrane forms. | |
| 542014517 | Cytokenesis | -final stage -cell spilts in half -cytoplasm spits and cell divides -new plasma membrane forms |
