  • During anaphase I, these pairs separate and become segregated into different gametes. We call this process
    Independent assortment
  • Chemotherapy is used to treat these types of tumors (spreading)
    Malignant (Metastatic)
  • Before cell division, DNA will get coiled up around protein to condense and form ________ .
    Chromosomes
  • This process occurs in the reproductive structures of organisms
    Meiosis
  • An example of this type of tumor would be some types of moles and other localized tumors.
    Benign
  • One of the benefits of this type of reproduction is that it is faster because less energy is used in finding a mate
    Asexual
  • T/F: A future benefit of stem cells could be to fix heart attack or brain damage
    True
  • During this process cells divide twice
    Meiosis
  • This type of cell does not obey density dependence and will continue to divide despite encroaching on neighboring cells
    Cancer
  • The type of cell that results from unregulated mitosis
    Cancer
  • Meiosis creates 4 genetically ______________ cells.
    Unique (different)
  • This is a long period during the cell cycle where the cell is growing and doing its job
    Interphase
  • The part of Interphase when chromosomes are copied in preparation for dividing
    "S" Phase (synthesis)
  • The biological term for any type of sex cell
    Gamete
  • A term referring to having only one set of chromosomes
    Haploid
  • T/F: Independent assortment leads to genetically identical diploid cells
    False
  • This type of feedback loop is a response in which the effects of a reaction slow or stop (go in reverse) that reaction.
    Negative Feedback Loop
  • Mitosis makes ______________ cells.
    Identical (body)
  • This treatment for cancer works on rapidly dividing cells
    Chemotherapy
  • If a cancer has metastasized, that means it has now ____________ .
    Spread
  • During Prophase 1 of meiosis, this process helps to create genetic variety in gametes
    Crossing Over
  • This occurs early on in meiosis, where homologous pairs of chromosomes exchange genes
    crossing over
  • How does mitosis maintain homeostasis?
    it creates new cells that can be used for growth and repair. During mitosis, one cell creates two identical daughter cells. These cells are necessary to replac
  • T/F: Asexual reproduction creates genetically identical cells
    True
  • A human body cell goes through meiosis, each individual daughter cell should have this many chromosomes in it
    23
  • These types of cells are undifferentiated
    Stem Cells
  • The process of how cells become specialized
    Differentiation
