CH-The Cell Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sequence of growth and division in a cell | Cell Cycle |
| Uncontrolled cell division | Cancer |
| Period of cell growth | Interphase |
| Division of the cytoplasm | Cytokinesis |
| Production of offspring by an organism | Reproduction |
| Period of nuclear cell division in which 2 daughter cells are formed | Mitosis |
| The first and longest phase of mitosis, chromatin, into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope disappears, and the spindle forms | Prophase |
| Second phase of mitosis; chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell | Metaphase |
| Third phase of mitosis, chromosomes split and are pulled apart | Anaphase |
| Last phase of mitosis, 2 new nuclei are formed and the chromosomes uncoil | Telophase |
| Term used to describe the new cells created during mitosis and meiosis | Daughter Cell |
| Long tangled strands of DNA found in the nucleous of a cell during the interphase | Chromatin |
| 2 exact copies of DNA that make up a chromosome | Chromatids |
| Cell structure that joins the sister chromatids of a chromosome | Centrome |
| Cell structure that carries the genetic material consists of 2 sister chromatids connected by a centrome | Chromosome |
| Cell structures composed of microtubles that aid in the process of cell division by moving the chromatids | Spindle |
| Star shaped structure that forms around the centrioles during the cell division | Aster |
| Indentations of the cell membrane that forms during cytokinesis in an animal | Cleavage Furrow |
| Precursor to the cell wall that forms during cytokinesis of a plant cell wall creating 2 new plant cells | Cell Plate |
| Slows or stops a process from happening | Inhibition |
