Answer:
3.1.1 Division of the cytoplasm - Cytokinesis
3.1.2 Uncontrolled cell growth - Cancer
3.1.3 Chromatids lined up at equator of cell - Metaphase
3.1.4 Chromatids joined at this point - Centromere
3.1.5 Mass of cancerous cells - Tumor
3.1.6 Skin cancer - Carcinoma
3.1.7 Growth and mitosis - Meristematic
3.1.8 Cancer causing factors - Carcinogens
3.1.9 Cancer cells that do not spread - Benign
3.1.10 Replicated half of a chromosome - Chromatid
Explanation:
The division of the cytoplasm is known as Cytokinesis. It occurs during the later part of the division of the nucleus in both mitosis and meiosis. In Cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of a single parent cell divides in two to produce two daughter cells.
Cancer is a disease condition that results when the growth and division of cells is uncontrolled. It occurs as a result of changes to the DNA either due to environmental factors or heredity factors.
Metaphase is one of the four stages in mitosis. During mitosis, the chromatids which are joined at the centelomere line up at the middle or equator of the cell.
Centromere is a region in the chromosome in which sister chromatids are joined together to form a short and a long arm of the chromosome.
A tumour is a swelling of a part of the body due to the abnormal growth of cells in that part of the body. A tumour may have the ability to spread or not.
Cancers that originate in the skin or tissues lining organs is known as carcinomas.
In plants, meristematic tissues are responsible for growth as they consist of actively dividing or mitotic cells. Meristematic cells are present at the tips of roots,stem and branches.
Carcinogens are agents or factors that are able to cause cancers. They include such agents like chemicals, electromagnetic radiations, some viruses, lifestyle factors, etc.
Benign tumours refers to growths in tissues or organs of the body which are non-cancerous as they do not spread to other tissues or organs in the body.
A chromatid is one-half of a replicated chromosome present in the nucleus of the cell. Two chromatids are joined together at the centromere to form the chromosome.
