Cell Cycle

Cell Cycle Mitosis and Cancer

QuestionAnswer
uncontrolled cell growth ; tumors develop cancer
process of a cell growing and dividing cell cycle
division of the nucleus mitosis
G1 , S and G2 together Interphase
division of the cytoplasm cytokinesis
chromosome splits and sister chromatids pulled to opposite ends of the cell anaphase
chromosomes moved to the middle/equator of the cell metaphase
nuclear envelope dissolves and chromatin condenses into chromosomes prophase
cell almost finished dividing ; chromosomes decondense ; nuclear envelope returns telophase
before S phase can happen ; check for cell growth & if DNA is damaged G1 checkpoint
before mitosis can happen ; check for cell growth & if the DNA was copied G2 checkpoint
before anaphase can happen ; check if spindle attachment is made & attaches to chromosomes M checkpoint
this is made by animals cells towards the end of telophase cleavage furrow
this is made by plant cells towards the end of telophase cell plate
cell growth in the cell cycle G1 and G2 phase
DNA is synthesized or copied S phase
includes mitosis AND cytokinesis M (mitotic) phase
resting phase ; cell is NOT dividing or preparing to divide G0 phase
organelle that produces the spindle fibers in animal cells during mitosis to move chromosomes around centrioles
the product of 1 round of mitosis 2 identical daughter cells
unregulated growth of cells that are noncancerous and do NOT spread benign tumor
unregulated growth of cells that are cancerous, invades and can spread throughout the body malignant tumor
cancer treatments removal , radiation , chemotherapy
possible causes of cancer too much UV light exposure, tobacco use , genetically inherited, viruses
programmed cell death "self-destruct" apoptosis

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.
