- Q3Structure that develops at the midpoint between the two groups of chromatids in a dividing cell forming the wall between the two new daughter cells.cell wall plate30s
- Q4the point on a chromosome by which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division.centroilechromosomecentromere30s
- Q5A disease when some of the body's cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.EmphysemaAsthmacancerAIDS30s

- Q7the ordered sequence of events that occur in a cell in preparation for cell division. This is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage).cell cycle30s
- Q8the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i.e., eukaryotes) are composed.This is the form DNA is in when the cell is not actively dividingchromatin30s
- Q9the things in the nucleus of a cell that carry genetic information. We're used to seeing them looking kind of like the letter X.ChromosomeCentromereChromatinChromatid30s
- Q10division of cytoplasmcytokinesis30s
- Q11The phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. During this phase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis even though it appears to be resting.metaphaseanaphaseinterphaseprophase30s

- Q13the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase, during which the chromosomes line up (meet) in the middle.telophaseinterphasemetaphaseanaphase30s
