Cell Division and Cancer

TermDefinition
Asexual Reproduction by dividing a single cell into 2
anaphase Third phase of cell division where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles
cancer unregulated cell division
centriole Paired organelle that organizes the movement of cell parts
centromere Point where sister chromatids are held together. Also where spindle fibers attach
chromatin Long and thin arrangement of DNA in nucleus
chromosome A chunk of DNA
crossing over Occurs during prophase, homologous pairs swap some DNA
cytokinesis Division of cytoplasm and cell parts
daughter cell One of the cell made during cell division
diploid Having 2 copies of each chromosome; most cell
equator The imaginary line around the middle of a sphere
gamete A reproductive cell: egg or sperm
haploid Having 1 copy of each chromosome
homologous pair Corresponding pairs of sister chromatids, one from Mom and one from Dad
karyotype A picture of all the chromosomes from a single cell
metaphase Second phase of cell division where chromosomes are aligned at the equator
nondisjunction When the sister chromatids or homologous pairs do not split up during Anaphase
prophase First phase of cell division, nuclear envelope dissolves and chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Sexual Reproduction where egg and sperm are brought together to form a genetically unique offspring
sister chromatids Identical copies of a chromosome
spindle fibers Radiate from centrioles, they are used to move chromosomes around during cell division
synthesis Phase in interphase where DNA is copied
telophase Last phase of cell division where nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes unwind to chromatin

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.
