Mitosis + Cancer IB

IB bio mitosis cancer

TermDefinition
First stage of mitosis Interphase
Second stage of mitosis Prophase
Third Stage of Mitosis Metaphase
Fourth Stage of Mitosis Anaphase
Fifth Stage of Mitosis Telophase
Mitosis One cell dividing into two identical cells
Mitosis is used for Growth, Tissue repair, Asexual reproduction
The cell cycle is A repetitive stages of cell growth and division
When is the cell cycle most active Interphase
What is it called in the cell cycle when a cell divides Mitosis
Interphase takes up how much of mitosis 70 percent, high metabolic activity
Cells can remain in Interphase indefinitely
In prophase chromosomes Supercoil, and become visible
What happens to the centriole during prophase? It devised and goes to opposite sides of the cell.
When does the spindle from during prophase
When does the nuclear membrane break down prophase
What happens to the nucleolus during prophase it becomes less visible
Where are centrioles during metaphase at different poles of the cell ready to pull
What do the spindles do during metaphase They attach to the chromosomes via the centromere, ready to pull them apart
Centromere is Where the spindles attach during metaphase, there is one on each side
Where are the chromosomes during metaphase? In the center or equator of the cell
What do the spindles do during anaphase? The spindles contract
What happens to the chromosomes They are pulled apart into chromatids
Chromatids Daughters chromosomes, half a chromosome
Each half the cell receives one chromatid from each chromosome
During telophase the chromatids reach the poles of the spindles, and begin to uncoil - become less distinct
What begins to form during anaphase Nuclear envelope
Telophase Two nucelli are formed
Cytokinesis Cell divides into two cells
Cytokinesis in animal cells the cells walls constrict
Cytokinesis in plant cells the cell wall is laid down
The daughter cells are genetically identical
Cyclins Group of proteins that control cell actions and stuff
Mutation Random change in sequence of DNA
Cancer is caused by Cells continue to dived with bad DNA because they have lost the abililty to apoptosis
Apoptosis Cell suicide
Begin tumor harmless, contained
Carcinoma Contained, potential to spread
Malignant Spread to other parts of the body
Metastasize cancer spread

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.
