Cancer The result of uncontrolled cell division
Cell Cycle The three stages of the life of a cell, which include interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis
Clone An identical genetic copy of an organisms parent
Cytokinesis The final stage of the cell cycle, which separates the two nuclei and cell contents into two daughter cells
Fragmentation A form of asexual reproduction in which each fragment of an organism develops into a clone of its parent
Interphase The first stage of the cell cycle, in which calls carry out life functions and cells that divide prepare for cell division
Mitosis The second stage of the cell cycle; the process in which the duplicated contents of the cell's nucleas divides into two equal parts
Replication The process during which the cell copies the 3 billion base pairs of DNA information in the nucleas
Spindle Fibres Tiny tube-like structures made of protein to which chromosomes attach during cell division
Spore Reproductive cells that grow into new individuals by mitosis
Stem Cell Cells that have the potential to become many different types of cells; two types of stem cells are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells
Vegetative Reproduction Reproduction in which special cells, usually in plant stems and plant roots, divide repeatedly to form structures that will eventually develop into a plant identical to the parent

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
