The spreading of cancerous cells is called

• metastasis

• carcinogenesis

• angiogenesis

• homeostasis

Cells spend the majority of their lives in

• repair of damaged cells

• replacement of dying cells.

• All of these

What is cytokinesis?

• This is when two cells merge together to make one giant cell.

• The stage where chromosomes migrate to the opposite ends of the cell. 

• The stage of the cell cycle where the rest of the cell divides after mitosis is complete.

• The stage in which DNA condenses into chromosomes.

In prophase of mitosis, chromosomes

• form and the nuclear envelope disappears.

• are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell.

• chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell

• chromosomes begin to decondense and the two new nuclei begin to form.

After mitosis, the cytoplasm and organelles are divided between the two new forming cells in a process called

• centriole

• chromatin

• cytokinesis

• centromere

What is the purpose the the cell cycle checkpoints?

• To repair damaged cells before they enter cell division.

• To remove damaged cells from an organism.

What is the first checkpoint of the cell cycle?

• Mitosis checkpoint

• G₁ checkpoint

• G₂ checkpoint
