|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cell Division | Process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
🗑
|
||||
| Asexual Reproduction | Process of reproduction involving a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
🗑
|
||||
| Sexual Reproduction | Type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism.
🗑
|
||||
| Chromosome | Threadlike structure of DNA and protein that contains genetic information; in eukaryotes, chromosomes are found in the nucleus; in prokaryotes, they are found in the cytoplasm.
🗑
|
||||
| Chromatin | Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones.
🗑
|
||||
| Cell Cycle | Series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells
🗑
|
||||
| Interphase | period of the cell cycle between cell divisions.
🗑
|
||||
| Mitosis | Part of the eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides.
🗑
|
||||
| Cytokinesis | Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
🗑
|
||||
| Prophase | first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become viable.
🗑
|
||||
| Centromere | Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach.
🗑
|
||||
| Chromatid | one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicate chromosome.
🗑
|
||||
| Centriole | Structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division.
🗑
|
||||
| Metaphase | Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
🗑
|
||||
| Anaphase | Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
🗑
|
||||
| Telophase | Phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin.
🗑
|
||||
| Cyclin | one of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
🗑
|
||||
| Growth Factor | One of a group of external regulatory proteins that stimulate the growth and division of cells
🗑
|
||||
| Apoptosis | Process of programmed cell death.
🗑
|
||||
| Cancer | disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth.
🗑
|
||||
| Tumor | Mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue.
🗑
|
||||
| Embryo | developing stage of a multicellular organism
🗑
|
||||
| Differentiation | Process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
🗑
|
||||
| Totipotent | Cells that are able to develop into any type of cell found in the body (including the cells that make up the extraembryonic membranes and placenta)
🗑
|
||||
| Blastocyst | stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells
🗑
|
||||
| Pluripotent | Cells that are capable of developing into most, but not all, of the body's cell types.
🗑
|
||||
| Stem Cell | Unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells.
🗑
|
||||
| Multipotent | Cell with limited potential to develop into many types of differentiated cells.
🗑

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.
