1.
46: How many Chromosomes are found in the Somatic cells of Homo Sapiens.
2.
Anaphase: Phase in which Sister Chromatids are pulled apart.
3.
Anaphase: The shortest phase of mitosis.
4.
benign: Least threatening type of tumors.
5.
Bipolar Mitotic Spindle: This aparatus is built during metaphase
6.
cancer: uncontrolled cell growth and division
7.
Cell Cycle: Complete life of a cell
8.
Cell Plate: Plant cells form this to undergo Cytokinesis.
9.
centrioles: found in the centrisomes of animal cells
10.
Chromatin: Uncondensed DNA
11.
Cleavage Furrow: Animal cells undergo cytokinesis by forming this.
12.
cytokinesis: Division of the Cytoplasm
13.
First Gap: Most general cell growth occurs during this.
14.
Gap 0 Phase: A cell that cannot or will not divide enters this stage of Interphase.
15.
histones: these are proteins associated with DNA
16.
Interphase: split up into G(Gap)1, S, and G2
17.
Life is a state or condition that results from the organization of matter and is maintained by the transfer of energy among those levels of organization.: Define life as Mr. Tatum has defined it all year.
18.
Malignant: More destructive type of tumors.
19.
Meiosis: Sexual Reproduction
20.
Metaphase: Phase in which Centromeres align in the center of the cell.
21.
metastasize: What is the process where cancer cells spread throughout the body?
22.
Mitosis: M Phase
23.
Mitotic Spindle: this is made of two complex sets of Microtubles on either pole of the cell. These microtubules serve to split apart the sister chromatids.
24.
mutation: What is the only source of variation in Mitosis
25.
Neoplasms: Fancy word for Tumors
26.
Nucleosome: 8 Histones and their associated DNA
27.
Prokaryotic Binary Fission: Mechanism by which Prokaryotes divide
28.
restriction point: The same as a Brake or Checkpoint, this is a phase in which the cell makes sure it will be able to divide properly.
29.
S Phase: DNA is replicated during this phase.
30.
Second Gap: Necessary structures for cell division are produced during this phase.
31.
Sister Chromatids: Two identical sets of DNA
32.
Stem Cells, Cancer Cells: These cells can be grown in culture, as opposed to most other cells.
33.
telomerase: an enzyme produced by sperm and cancer that produces new "Buffers" for the Chromosomes.
34.
Telomeres: "Buffers" at the end of the chromosomes that erode during division.
35.
Telophase: Phase in which Prophase is Reversed.
