the initial stage of both mitosis and meiosis, where the cell prepares for division by condensing the DNA into chromosomes and breaking down the nuclear envelope

a stage in cell division (mitosis or meiosis) where the chromosomes, which are the DNA, line up in the middle of the cell, like a neat row

the duplicated chromosomes, called sister chromatids, separate and move to opposite poles of the cell

a cell division process where one cell splits into two identical daughter cells, preserving the original number of chromosomes

the longest phase of the cell cycle where a cell performs its normal functions, grows, and prepares for cell division

the final stage of cell division (mitosis or meiosis) where chromosomes reach the poles of the cell, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle disassembles.

one of several points in the eukaryotic cell cycle at which the progression of a cell to the next stage in the cycle can be halted until conditions are favorable

the process where the cytoplasm of a cell divides to form two separate daughter cells

A type of cell death in which a series of molecular steps in a cell lead to its death

When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.

an abnormal mass of tissue, either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should, or when they don't die when they should.

Question	Answer
what is prophase	the initial stage of both mitosis and meiosis, where the cell prepares for division by condensing the DNA into chromosomes and breaking down the nuclear envelope
what is metaphase	a stage in cell division (mitosis or meiosis) where the chromosomes, which are the DNA, line up in the middle of the cell, like a neat row
what is anaphase	the duplicated chromosomes, called sister chromatids, separate and move to opposite poles of the cell
what is mitosis	a cell division process where one cell splits into two identical daughter cells, preserving the original number of chromosomes
what is interphase	the longest phase of the cell cycle where a cell performs its normal functions, grows, and prepares for cell division
what is telophase	the final stage of cell division (mitosis or meiosis) where chromosomes reach the poles of the cell, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle disassembles.
cell check points:	one of several points in the eukaryotic cell cycle at which the progression of a cell to the next stage in the cycle can be halted until conditions are favorable
cytokinesis:	the process where the cytoplasm of a cell divides to form two separate daughter cells
apoptosis:	A type of cell death in which a series of molecular steps in a cell lead to its death
cancer cells:	When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
tumor	an abnormal mass of tissue, either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should, or when they don't die when they should.
