Cell growth and Division

prophase

During what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes condense, the centrioles separate, the spindle begins to form and the nuclear membrane breaks down?

telophase

During what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and nuclear membranes form around each group?

metaphase

During what phase of mitosis do the replicated chromosomes line up at the center of the cell?

anaphase

During what phase of mitosis to the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell?

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase (PMAT)

That are the four stages of mitosis?

cytokinesis

The division of the cytoplasm is called _______________.

identical

The two daughter cell created through the process of mitosis and cytokinesis are genetically ________________ to each other.

Cancer

Uncontrolled cell growth

G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase

What are three stages of interphase?

The cell grows

What happens during G1 phase?

Preparation for mitosis

What happens during G2 phase?

DNA replication

What happens during S phase?

tumor

an abnormal mass of tissue that can live and reproduce itself, but performs no service to the body

cyclins

family of closely related proteins which regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells

radiation therapy

the use of radiation to destroy cancer cells

chemo therapy

treatment of disease with chemicals. Used a lot in treating cancer.

malignant tumor

A cancerous tumor that is invasive enough to impair the functions of one or more organs.

benign tumor

A mass of abnormal cells that remains at the site of origin
