|
Definition
|
|
Term
| For single-celled organisms, cell division is a form of [blank] reproduction. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Most multicellular organisms reproduce by [blank] reproduction. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Cells carry genetic information in packages of DNA called [blank]. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Most [blank] have only one circular strand of DNA. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| In eukaryotic cells, the genetic structure consists of DNA and a tightly wound protein, which together form a substance called [blank]. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The beadlike structures formed by DNA wrapped around [blank] molecules are called nucleosomes. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| [Blank] make it possible the precise separation of DNA during cell division. |

|
Term
| In eukaryotic cells, what happens in the G1 phase that differs from the G2 phase? |
|
Definition
| G1 is cell growth, G2 cell gets ready for mitosis. |
|
|
Term
| In eukaryotic cells, what are the two main stages of cell division? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During prophase, when cell chromosomes become visible, what are the duplicated strands of DNA called? What is the name for the area in which these duplicated strands are joined? |
|
Definition
| Sister Chromatids/Centromere |
|
|
Term
| What structures are spindle fibers attached to that help pull the paired chromosomes apart? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The chromosomes separate and begin to move to opposite sides of the cell. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The chromosomes become visible. The centrioles take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes. The nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter nucleus. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Chromosomes going through mitosis. |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The division of the cytoplasm. |
|
|
Term
| Cells tend to [continue] dividing when they come into contact with other cells. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Cell division [speeds up] when the healing process nears completion. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Proteins called [growth factors] regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| If chromosomes have not attached to spindle fibers during metaphase, an [internal] regulatory protein will prevent the cell from entering anaphase. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Growth factors are external regulatory proteins that [slow down] the cell cycle. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Once apoptosis is triggered, a cell proceeds to [self-destruct] |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Internal regulatory proteins |
|
Definition
| Respond to events occurring inside a cell |
|
|
Term
| External regulatory proteins |
|
Definition
| Stimulate the growth and division of cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control growth, is one such example. |
|
|
Term
| What are the two basic types of tumors? Explain how they are different. |
|
Definition
Benign - Non-cancerous
Malignant - Cancerous |
|
|
Term
| Why can cancer be life threatening? |
|
Definition
| They absorb nutrients needed by other cells, block nerve connections, and prevent the organs they invade from functioning properly. |
|
|
Term
| What is the cause of cancer? |
|
Definition
| Defects in the genes that regulate cell growth and division. |
|
|
Term
| How do radiation and chemotherapy affect cancer cells? |
|
Definition
| They target the cancer cells and destroy them. |
|
|
Term
| Cancer cells do not respond to signals that regulate cell [blank]. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Cancer cells form a mass of cells called a [blank]. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Cancer cells may break loose and [blank] throughout the body. |
