Question
Answer
Cell cycle   process of cellular reproduction, occurring in three main stages  
🗑
Chromatin   relaxed form of dna in the nucleus of a cell  
🗑
Chromosome   dna-containing structure that carries genetic material from one generation to another  
🗑
Cytokinesis   third main stage of the cell division by stimulating production of proteins required for mitosis  
🗑
Interphase   first stage of the cell cycle, during which a cell grows, matures and replicates its dna  
🗑
Mitosis   second main stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's replicate dna divides and two genetically identical diploid daughter cells are produced  
🗑
Anaphase   third stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled apart and microtublues, along with motor proteins move the chomosomes to opposite poles of the cell  
🗑
Centromere   cell structure that joins two sister chromatids  
🗑
Metaphase   second stage of mitosis in which motor proteins pull sister chromatids to the cell's equator  
🗑
Prophase   first stage of mitosis, during which the cell's chromatin condenses into chromosomes  
🗑
Sister chromatid   structure that contains identical dna copies and formed during dna replication  
🗑
Spindle apparatus   structure made of spindle fibers, centrioles, and aster fibers that is involved in moving and organizing chromosomes before the cell divides  
🗑
Telophase   last stage of mitosis in which nucleoli reappear.  Two new nuclear memberanes begin to form, but the cell has not yet completely divided  
🗑
Apoptosis   programmed cell death  
🗑
Cancer   uncontroled  growth and division of cells that can be caused by changes in control of the cell cycle and also may be caused by environmental factors   
🗑
Carcinogen   cancer-causing substance  
🗑
Cyclin   one of the specific proteins that regulate the cell cycle  
🗑
Stem cell   unspecialized cell that can develop into a specialized cell under the right conditions  
🗑
dependent kinase   enzyme to which cyclin binds during interphase and mitosis, triggering and controlling activities during the cell cycle  
🗑


   

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.
