Cell Cycle/ Cancer Review

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process during cell division where the cytoplasm of a parental cell is divided into two daughter cells.

Front

What is Cancer?

Back

Cancer is uncontrolled cell division that can lead to the formation of tumors and various diseases.

Front

What happens during the S stage of Interphase?

Back

During the S stage of Interphase, the DNA is replicated.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

The purpose of the cell cycle is to create new daughter cells.

Front

What is the correct order of the cell cycle actions?

Back

1. Cell grows 2. DNA replicates 3. Cell prepares for mitosis 4. Cell divides.

Front

Define Mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including growth and DNA replication.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The main stages of the cell cycle are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) followed by Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the role of DNA replication in the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the parent cell's genetic material.

Front

What is the difference between benign and malignant tumors?

Back

Benign tumors are non-cancerous and do not spread, while malignant tumors are cancerous and can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
