Spindle fibers attaching to the chromosome
Chromatin in the nucleus
Two chromatids belonging to the same chromosome
What are the two stages of cell division?
Metaphase and anaphase
Interphase and mitosis
G1 and G2
Mitosis and cytokinesis

S, G2, G1, M phase
G1, S, G2, M phase
G1, G2, M phase, S
M phase, S, G2, G1
What occurs during S phase of interphase?
DNA replicates

Chromosome
Chromatid
Centromere
During this phase of the cell cycle, the cell is preparing for mitosis
G2 phase
M phase
S phase
G1 phase
After mitosis has occurred, the cell must go through this process to split into 2 new cells
Interphase
Cytokinesis
Meiosis
DNA replication
What is the relationship between the p53 gene (tumor suppressor gene) and cancer?
If a person has a p53 gene, then they will have cancer
The p53 gene prevents mitosis from happening
The p53 gene only deals with tumors, not cancer
Mutations in the p53 gene cause cancer
What can cause cancer?
Mutagens like tobacco and UV rays can mutate DNA and cause uncontrollable cell division
