Multiple Select

How do cancer cells differ from normal cells in regards to CELL GROWTH? Choose 2.

• Cancer cells will stop growing when they come in contact with another cell (contact inhibition)

• Cancer cells grow uncontrollably

• Normal cells grow uncontrollably

• Normal cells will stop growing when they come in contact with another cell (contact inhibition)

Multiple Select

How do cancer cells differ from normal cells in regards to CHECK POINTS? Choose 2.

• Cancer cells ignore check points

• Normal cells ignore check points.

• Cancer cells get damaged DNA fixed at a check point

• Normal cells get DNA fixed or sent into apoptosis

Multiple Select

How do cancer cells differ from normal cells in regards to APOPTOSIS? Choose 2.

• Normal cells will not go through apoptosis even if their DNA is damaged

• Cancer cells do not go through apoptosis

• Normal cells will go into apoptosis if DNA is damaged beyond repair

• Cancer cells will go through apoptosis if their DNA is damaged

Cancer

Multiple Select

What are the 2 functions of the p53 gene?

• DNA repair

• DNA replication

• Start mitosis

• Start apoptosis

Multiple Choice

What statement best describes the difference between the mortality (death) rate of cancer between a developed country (such as the United States) versus a developing country (such as South Central Asia)?

• Developed countries would have a higher mortality rate due to less medical technology

• Developed countries would have a lower mortality rate due to less medical technology

• Developed countries would have a higher mortality rate due to more medical technology

• Developed countries would have a lower mortality rate due to more medical technology

Stem cells

Multiple Choice

What is the function of stem cells in the human body?

• To become a specialized cell

• To become gametes

• To regulate apoptosis

• To make more p53 genes

Multiple Choice

What is the source of embryonic stem cells?

• Sperm

• Blood cells

• Embryos

• Muscle cells

Multiple Choice

Why are embryonic stem cells seen as controversial?

• Stem cells are dangerous

• It involves the destruction of human embryos

• Stem cells never die

• Stem cells have too much telomerase enzyme

Genetic Technology

Multiple Choice

What is the social implication of a technology being used, like CRISPR, that could alter human genomes?

• It is related to how much money someone makes

• It is related to the government

• It concerns trade, industry, and the creation of wealth

• It is related to society or its organization

Multiple Choice

What is an economic/financial implication of a technology being used, like CRISPR, that could alter human genomes?

• How someone is treated based on their genes/DNA

• How something is related to the government

• Something tied to trade, industry and the creation of wealth

• How something is tied to society

Multiple Choice

There are 2 types of cloning: embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).

A man's cat has developed cancer and he wants to clone it using SCNT. Will the cloned cat develop cancer also?

• No because only factors from the environment cause cancer

• No because factors from the environment and genes influence cancer.

• Yes because the original cat had cancer.

• Yes because factors from the environment and genes cause cancer.
