Cell Cycle and Cancer

Front

How do humans grow?

Back

Cells undergo cell division producing new cells.

Front

Which statement is true about normal mitotic cell division?

Back

Each daughter cell produced has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

Which statement best describes the phase of the cell cycle shown?
Options: The cell is in prophase of mitosis because the number of chromosomes has doubled. , The cell is in metaphase of mitosis because the number of chromosomes has doubled. , The cell is in telophase of mitosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of each chromosome. , The cell is in interphase of mitosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of each chromosome.

Back

The cell is in telophase of mitosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of each chromosome.

Front

Processes involved in mitotic cell division: I. nuclear duplication, II. cytoplasmic division, III. DNA replication, IV. cellular growth

Back

II, III, and IV

Front

Which is a characteristic of the group of diseases known as cancer?

Back

events in the cell cycle

Front

Cancer involves what, regardless of tumor classification?

• cells that cover internal body parts only
• cell transport processes being disrupted
• unregulated phases in the cell cycle
• enzymes functioning below optimal capacity

Back

unregulated phases in the cell cycle

Front

What is the result of the cell cycle? (somatic=body cell)

Back

Two genetically identical somatic daughter cells
