Question
Answer
define cell division   process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells.  
🗑
define mitosis   part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides.  
🗑
define cytokinesis   divison of the cytoplasm to form two seperate daughter cells.  
🗑
define chromatid   one of two identical sister parts of a duplicated chromosome.  
🗑
centromere   region of a chromosome wherethe two sister chromatids attach.  
🗑
interphase   period of the cell cycle between cell divisions.  
🗑
cell cycle   series of events in which a cell grows prepares for division and divides to form two daughter cells.  
🗑
prophase   first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible.  
🗑
centriole   structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division  
🗑
chromatin   substances found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones.  
🗑
metaphase   phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up acros the center of the cell.  
🗑
anaphase   phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes seperate 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.  
🗑
chromosome   threadlike structures  
🗑
growth factor   one of a group of external regulatory proteins that stimulate the growth and division of cells.  
🗑
cyclin   one of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.  
🗑
apoptosis   process of programmed cell death.  
🗑
cancer   disorder in which some of the body's cell lose the ability to control growth.  
🗑
tumor   mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding heathly tissue.  
🗑
embryo   developing stage of a multicellular organism.  
🗑
differentiation   process in which cells become specilized in structure and function.  
🗑
totipotent   cells that are able to develope into any type of cell found in the body  
🗑
blastocyst   stage of early development in mammals that consist of hollow ball of cells.  
🗑
pluripotent   cells that are capable of developing into most, but not all, of the body's cell type.  
🗑
stem cell   unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells.  
🗑
multipotent   cell with limited potential to develope 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.
