Biology Vocab Unit 6

2. of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
4. of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
6. drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in your body
10. first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
11. the process of programmed cell death
13. development of secondary malignant growths at a distance from a primary site of cancer
14. of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
15. of the cell cycle between cell divisions in which the cell grows
18. with the capacity to cause cancer in humans

1. therapy--the treatment of disease, especially cancer, using X-rays or similar forms of radiation.
2. in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
3. of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
5. of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach
7. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
8. of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
9. change in the DNA sequence
12. reproduction-- type of reproduction in which one parent cell produces two identical offspring (daughter cells)
16. reproduction--type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism
17. cycle--series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells
