bb Mitosis and Meiosis

The purpose of cell division in eukaryotes is to

• repair

• replace

• reproduce

• grow

Cells are capable of growing, reproducing, and programmed cell death. Therefore they have their own life spans called the

• cell cycle

• mitosis

• meiosis

• cancer

If genes are mutated in some way cell division can become out of control leading to

• meiosis

• mitosis

• cancer

• DNA

Cells require _ which is transported across the membrane.

• oxygen

• water

• food

• volume

Ideally cells need to be _ so they are more efficient.

• small

• large

• medium

• animal

A parent cell divides to form

• daughter cells.

• son cells.

• skin cells.

• nucleus.

In order for a cell to divide it must first

• eat other cells.

• make lipids.

• grow large enough.

• replicate its DNA.

DNA (many genes) and proteins (such as histones) make up

• nuclei.

• chromosomes.

• cancer.

• nutrients

The cell's DNA is in this form most of its life (loosely dispersed DNA)

• chromatin.

• chromatid.

• chromosome.

• ball.

The center of a chromosome that attaches sister chromatids is called the

• chromatin.

• nucleus.

• centromere.

• cytokinesis.
