Chapter 9 Cellular reproduction (textbook)

Stem cell

A cell that remains capable of dividing throughout the life of an organism, and that produces daughter cells That can mature Into any of several different cell types is a ______

Metaphase

The chromosomes of a cell are lined up along the equator during what phase of mitosis?

Prophase

The chromosomes first attach to spindle during what phase

Daughter cells are not genetically identical to the parent cells

How does Prokaryotic fission Differ from eukaryotic cell division

DNA

Genetic material of all living organisms is ______, which is contained in chromosomes

Prokaryotic fission

Prokaryotic cells divide by a process called ______

Mitotic, differentiation

Growth And development of eukaryotic organisms occur through _______ cell division and _____ of the resulting data cells

Growth factors

Eukaryotic cells are often stimulated to divide by hormone like molecules called_________

Checkpoints

__________ Monitor progress throughout the cell cycle

Oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes

Two categories of genes that, when mutated, often allow unregulated cell division are __________ and _________

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

The four phases of mitosis are _______, ______, ______, and ______

Cytokinesis

Division of the cytoplasm into two cells is called ________

Telophase

What phase does cytokinesis occur during in mitosis?

Kinetochores

Chromosomes attached to spindle microtubules at structures called __________

Polar

Some spindle microtubules, called ___________ Microtubules, do not bind the chromosomes, but have free ends that overlap along the equator of the cell. These microtubules push the poles of the cell apart.
