| GROWTH | increase in the number of cells |
| CHROMOSOMES | compacted versions of chromatin |
| MITOSIS | the orderly sequence of a cell division resulting in 2 identical daughter cells |
| CELL CYCLE | the orderly sequence of a cell going through growth and division |
| INTERPHASE | Stage of cell cycle in which the cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases |
| S (SYNTHESIS) | the phase during interphase where the DNA replicates itself |
| G1 (GAP 1) | the phase during interphase where the cell grows |
| G2 (GAP 2) | the phase during interphase where the cell prepares to divide by copying its organelles and continues to grow |
| MITOSIS | in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes |
| CYTOKINESIS | division of the cytoplasm during cell division |
| PROPHASE | part of cell division when chromosomes first appear as sister chromatids |
| PROPHASE | part of mitosis when the nucleolus disappears |
| PROPHASE | phase of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromere of each chromatid |
| PROPHASE | phase of cell division when the nuclear envelope disappears |
| METAPHASE | part of mitosis when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell |
| ANAPHASE | part of mitosis when sister chromatids separate from their partners |
| ANAPHASE | part of cell division when microtubules shorten/length to bring each chromatids to opposite poles of the cell |
| PROPHASE | begins when centrioles reach the poles during cell division |
| TELOPHASE | everything that happened in prophase is reversed |
| TELOPHASE | spindles disappear, nuclear envelopes reappear, chromosomes uncoil, nucleoli reappear |
| CYTOKINESIS | completes the cell cycle after division by dividing the cytoplasm |
| CYTOKINESIS | stage of the cell cycle that results in two identical daughter cells |
| CELL CYCLE | cytokinesis, interphase, mitosis |
| INTERPHASE | stage of the cell cycle including phases G1, S, G2 |
| CENTRIOLES | move to the poles and shorten spindle fibers to pull chromatids apart during anaphase |
| CENTROMERES | attach sister chromatids together in the middle (intersection of the X) |
| CHROMATIDS | form as dna condenses to make up chromosomes, "sisters" |
| CHROMATIN | single, thread like strands in the nucleus, which contain DNA |
| SOMATIC | referred to as diploid body cells since they make up most of body tissues and organ, DNA is not passed on |
| MITOSIS | in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes |
| CYTOKINESIS | division of the cytoplasm during cell division |
| PROPHASE | part of cell division when chromosomes first appear as sister chromatids |
| PROPHASE | part of mitosis when the nucleolus disappears |

| METAPHASE | part of mitosis when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell |
| ANAPHASE | part of mitosis when sister chromatids separate from their partners |
| ANAPHASE | part of cell division when microtubules shorten/length to bring each chromatids to opposite poles of the cell |
| PROPHASE | begins when centrioles reach the poles during cell division |
| TELOPHASE | everything that happened in prophase is reversed |
| TELOPHASE | spindles disappear, nuclear envelopes reappear, chromosomes uncoil, nucleoli reappear |
| HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES | chromosomes that are similar size and carrying same traits |
| TELOMERES | a compound structure at the end of a chromosome. |
| SPINDLE FIBERS | microscopic protein structures which help divide genetic material during cell division. |
| DAUGHTER CELLS | two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis |
| DAUGHTER CELLS | genetically identical to the parent cell because they contain the same number and type of chromosomes |
| CHROMATIN | The relaxed form of DNA in the cell's nucleus |
| SISTER CHROMATID | one of a pair of identical chromosomes created before a cell divides centromere |
| SPINDLE APPARATUS | moves and organizes the chromosomes before cell division |
| CANCER | uncontrolled cell growth |
| APOPTOSIS | programmed cell death |
| CARCINOGEN | an agent that causes cancer |
| STEM CELL | unspecialized cell that can develop into a specialized cell under the right conditions |
| TOTIPOTENT/EMBRYONIC | cells within the first couple of cell divisions after fertilization |
| PLURIPOTENT | cells can give rise to almost any type of cell that make up the body |
| MULTIPOTENT | adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells |
| CYCLIN | proteins associated with initiating processes of mitosis |
| MALIGNANT | Cancerous tumor |
| MITOSIS | A process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells |
| CYTOKINESIS | The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis |
| Metastasis | Is the spread of cancer from its primary site to other places in the body through blood and lymph system |
| BENIGN | A tumor that is not cancerous. |
| SPINDLE FIBERS | During mitosis, the chormosomes' movements are guided by a football-shaped framework of microtubules called ______. These microtubules grow from two centrosomes. |
| CLEAVAGE FURROW | The area of the cell membrane that pinches in and eventually separates the dividing cell. The first sign of cleavage in an animal cell; a shallow groove in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate. |
| CYTOKINESIS | In plant cell mitosis the cell plate forms in _______to form cell wall |
| CELL PLATE | a structure that forms when the cytoplasm of a plant cell divides |
| MALIGNANT | cells grow in an uncontrolled way and can invade nearby tissues and have the potential to spread to other parts of the body |
