Cell cycle Mitosis and Meiosis - chapter 10

Cell cycle: What are the two steps within which the cell cycle that allow for the everyday function of the cell, and cell division?

• Mitosis and Meiosis

• Mitosis and Cytokinesis

• Interphase and Mitosis

• Interphase and Cytokinesis

Cell cycle: Most of the cell cycle consists of _____________ the time between cell division? Also, the cell performs everyday activities including cellular respiration and cellular regulation. Also, DNA replication occurs during this stage of the cell cycle?

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Interphase

Cancer: In general, what causes cancer within living things?

• Cancer can be caused by the uncontrollable cell growth within a living thing. This uncontrollable cell growth goes undetected, and is too late when cells find the cells that are reproducing uncontrollably.

• Cancer can be caused by cells that have not fully grown within living things. In turn, these cells tend to stay stuck together creating tumors in living things.

• Cancer is usually inherited by your parents, thus cancer cells are already in living things that have similar genetics as their parents that have cancer.

What are cancer cells?

• Cells you caught from another person.

• Cells that are infected with a virus.

• Cells that are inherited from parents

• Cells that are growing out of control, and keep reproducing mutated cells.

cell cycle: The process of the cell cycle where the nucleus divides to create two identical nuclei is called __________.

• Interphase

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Mutation

cell structure: Which of these is the part of the cell that contains hereditary material, aka DNA genetic material?

• interphase

• chromosomes

• embryo

• zygote

mitosis: The final step in the mitosis process for animal cells is _________, within which the spindle fibers dissolves and nuclear envelopes form around the chromosomes in both cells.

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

mitosis: This phase in mitosis allows the chromosomes to "condense," or become so tightly wound that you can see them under a microscope. The wall around the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, disappears. Spindles also form and attach to chromosomes to help them move.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

During this phase of mitosis, the two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, resulting in two sets of identical chromosomes.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Cell cycle: Why do cells divide within living things?

• Cells must divide in order for living things to grow and develop.

• cells must divide in living things to repair damaged cells.

• Cells must divide to replace older, worn out cells.

• All of the answers are correct. Cells divide for living things to grow and develop, to repair damaged cells, and to replace older worn out cells.
