In what 2 ways can cell death occur? | Necrosis or apoptosis |
What type of cell death occurs when pathological changes kills a cell? | Necrosis |
What type of cell death occurs as a normal physiological response? | Apoptosis |
What type of cell death involves activation of cytoplasmic caspases, which leads to cell death? | Apoptosis |
The phase in life when the cell divides is called what? | Mitosis |
During mitosis what are condensed and duplicated? | Chromosomes |
Chromosomes consist of 2 duplicate strands of __________ which are connected by _________. | Chromatids/centromere |
Mitosis consists of what 4 stages? | Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telephase |
In what stage of mitosis do the chromosomes become visible distinct structures? | Prophase |
In what stage of mitosis do the chromosomes line up single file along the equator and are positioned there by spindle fibers? | Metaphase |
During what stage of mitosis do the centromeres split and the spindle fibers pull each chromatid to opposite poles? | Anaphase |
