Biology Chapter 10

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cell division   the process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells  
🗑
Mitosis   the first stage, division of the cell nucleus  
🗑
Cytokinesis   the second stage,division of the cytoplasm  
🗑
Chromatids   each chromosome consists of these two identical "sisters" after each chromosome is replicated, or copied  
🗑
Centromeres   where each pair of chromatids is attached  
🗑
Interphase   "in-between" period of growth in cell division/DNA is replicated/the cell grows  
🗑
Cell cycle   is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide  
🗑
Prophase   the first and longest phase of mitosis/the chromosomes become visible  
🗑
Centrioles   two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope  
🗑
Spindle   a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes  
🗑
Metaphase   the second phase of mitosis/the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell  
🗑
Anaphase   the third phase/the centromeres that join the sister chromatids split, allowing the sisters to become individual chromosomes  
🗑
Telophase   the fourth and final phase/the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material  
🗑
Cyclin   regulates the cell cycle  
🗑
Cancer   a disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth  
🗑
As a cell becomes larger   volume increases faster than its surface area  
🗑
As a cell grows, it   places more demand on its DNA/uses up food and oxygen more quickly  
🗑
Problems that growth causes for cells   DNA overload/Expelling waste  
🗑
If a cell's DNA were not copied before cell division, the cell could   be stopped from dividing by cyclins  
🗑
When a cell divides   each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell's DNA  
🗑
Phases of mitosis   Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
Plant cells   have a cell plate  
🗑
Contact with other cells   can stop cell from growing  
🗑
In eukaryote cells, the timing of the cell cycle is regulated by   Cyclins  
🗑
Cancer cells form masses of cells called   Tumors  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
