🗑
What type of cell death occurs as a normal physiological response?   Apoptosis  
🗑
What type of cell death involves activation of cytoplasmic caspases, which leads to cell death?   Apoptosis  
🗑
The phase in life when the cell divides is called what?   Mitosis  
🗑
During mitosis what are condensed and duplicated?   Chromosomes  
🗑
Chromosomes consist of 2 duplicate strands of __________ which are connected by _________.   Chromatids/centromere  
🗑
Mitosis consists of what 4 stages?   Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telephase

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.
