Did You Study?
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cleavage Furrow | The indentation in Cytoplasmic division in a dividing animal cell |
| Metastasis | The process in which malignant cells move from 1 part of the body to another |
| Interphase | The phase of the cell which it will mostly be in, it is the phase that is there before mitosis begins |
| Neoplasm | An abnormal growth of tissues in some part of the body, a characteristic of cancer |
| Tumor | A neoplasm that forms a lump |
| Spindle | A temporary structure that moves chromosomes during nuclear divisions |
| Metaphase | Stage of Mitosis in which all of the chromosomes are in between the spindle poles |
| Asexual Reproduction | Reproduction in which the offspring have only 1 parent |
| Prophase | Stage of Mitosis in which all of the chromosomes condense and attach to the spindle poles |
| Telomeres | Noncoding, repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes |
| Proto-Oncogene | A gene that can become an Oncogene by mutation |
| Telophase | The phase in which Chromosomes arrive at opposite spindle poles, decondense, and form 2 new nuclei |
| Cell Plate | A disk-shaped structure that forms during cytokinesis in a plant cell and acts as a cross-wall between the 2 new nuclei |
| Oncogene | Gene that helps a normal cell turn into a tumor cell |
| Cell Cycle | A series of events from when a cell is created to when it's cytoplasm divides |
| Mitosis | Nuclear Division mechanism that keeps the chromosome number |
| Homologous Chromosoome | Chromosomes with the same length, shape, and genes |
| Anaphase | Stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids split up and move towards opposite spindle poles |
| Cancer | Disease in which malignant neoplasm disrupts body tissues physically and metabolically |
| Growth Factor | Molecule that stimulates mitosis and differentiation |
| Cytokinesis | Cytoplasmic Division |
