How the three kinds differ

Define cards carry a term on the front and its definition on the back. Check cards carry a question with a short written answer, one per lesson; write the answer out before turning the card over. Spot the error cards carry an inaccurate statement on the front for you to correct.

• ChromatidDEFINE
• Homologous pairDEFINE
• SpindleDEFINE
• Mitotic indexDEFINE
• TelomereDEFINE
• TelomeraseDEFINE
• Cells spend most of their lives dividing, and interphase is the resting phase between divisionsSPOT THE ERROR
• The cell cycle and mitosis: check questionCHECK
• Stem cellDEFINE
• Self-renewalDEFINE
• DifferentiationDEFINE
• PotencyDEFINE
• A stem cell can become any kind of cell, which is what makes it a stem cellSPOT THE ERROR
• Stem cells and cell potency: check questionCHECK
• AcrosomeDEFINE
