Unit 6 Cell Cycle Vocab

mass of cell that is growing out of control

• checkpoint

• cancer

• tumor

• apoptosis

make offspring that are genetically different from parents; requires 2 parents; offspring are better adapted to survive

• sexual reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• binary fission

• budding

NGSS.HS-LS4-4

type of asexual reproduction that occurs when a single celled organism (bacteria) replicates its DNA and then divides

• binary fission

• fragmentation

• vegetative propagation

• sexual reproduction

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

a disease in which some body cells grow and divide uncontrollably damaging the parts of the body around them.

• cancer

• tumor

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

type of asexual that occurs when a group of cells grow on a parent and then detach to become a separate organism

• budding

• fragmentation

• binary fission

• vegetative propagation

A cancer-causing substance; may be UV rays or even viruses

• tumor

• cancer

• carcinogen

• oncogene

type of asexual in which a small or broken piece from an organism develops into a new adult organism

• budding

• fragmentation

• binary fission

• asexual reproduction

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

a control point in the cell cycle where stop signals can regulate the cell cycle

• checkpoint

• cancer

• metastasis

• carcinogen

make offspring that are genetically identical to the parent; requires only one parent

• sexual reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• binary fission

• fragmentation
