Terms : Hide Images [1]
| 6551375181 | G1 Phase | Primary growth phase of the cell | 0 | |
| 6551375182 | S Phase | Phase where DNA is replicated | 1 | |
| 6551375183 | G2 Phase | Growth stage in which the cell prepares for division; organelles replicate and spindle forms | 2 | |
| 6551375184 | Interphase | Collective name for G1, S, and G2 Phases | 3 | |
| 6551375185 | Mitosis (M) | Division of the nucleus | 4 | |
| 6551375186 | Cytokinesis (C) | Cytoplasm divides; forms 2 daughter cells | 5 | |
| 6551375188 | Chromosome | coiled DNA; visible | 6 | |
| 6551375191 | Spindle | Consists of fibers made of proteins; location where chromosomes attach | 7 | |
| 6551375193 | Prophase | Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, spindle begins to form, centromeres move away from each other |  | 8 |
| 6551375195 | Metaphase | Centrosomes at opposite poles of the cell; chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell |  | 9 |
| 6551375197 | Telophase | Two daughter nuclei form in the cell, nucleus reappears |  | 10 |
| 6551375198 | G1 Checkpoint | checks cell size, nutrients and growth factors; if a cell has everything it needs, it will copy DNA | 11 | |
| 6551375199 | M Checkpoint | checks that all chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers | 12 | |
| 6551432723 | Cancer | Uncontrolled dividing of cells | 13 | |
| 6551441848 | Undifferentiated | Description of a stem cell | 14 | |
| 6551472014 | Homologous | Describes a pair of chromosomes; one maternal and one paternal | 15 | |
| 6551448336 | Chromatin | uncoiled DNA; found during interphase | 16 | |
| 6551456239 | Diploid | A cell with two copies of each chromosome | 17 | |
| 6551458167 | Haploid | A cell with half the number of chromosomes | 18 | |
| 6551460118 | Meiosis | Process by which gametes are made | 19 | |
| 6551481550 | Crossing Over | Occurs during meiosis; increases genetic variation | 20 | |
| 6551490912 | Mutation | Any change in DNA | 21 | |
| 6583667114 | Binary Fission | The way in which bacteria reproduce; copy and split | 22 | |
| 6583699402 | G0 (G zero) | Resting state for cells not dividing | 23 | |
| 6583704240 | Density-Dependent Inhibition (Contact Inhibition) | Cells stop dividing when it's too crowded in an area | 24 | |
| 6583712238 | Cyclin | Protein that increases and decreases throughout the cell cycle and activates enzymes needed for division | 25 | |
| 6592938578 | 2 Divisions | A description of the events in meiosis | 26 | |
| 6592942236 | 1 Division | A description of the events in mitosis | 27 | |
| 6592944838 | 46 | Represents the number of chromosomes in a human somatic cell. | 28 | |
| 6592947969 | 23 | Represents the number of chromosomes in a human gamete. | 29 |
