Cell Cycle Assignment 6.2

Stages of Cell Cycle

1) Interphase

2) Mitosis (PMAT)

3) Cytokinesis

Multiple Choice

Which stage of the cell cycle do cells spend the most time?

• Cytokinesis

• Mitosis

• Interphase

• Prophase

Cell Cycle

Interphase 90%

Mitosis (PMAT) 10%

Interphase

1) Nucleus still intact

2) DNA is still spaghetti-like (chromatin)

3) Organelles are being duplicated

Multiple Choice

What stage is represented with this image?

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Cancer

Caused by uncontrollable cell growth.

They divide too fast.

Tumors

A group of cancer cells is called a tumor

Carcinogens are cancer-causing agents that can cause mutations to your DNA.

Cell Death- Apoptosis

If a cell is "damaged" or broken, it can self destruct (apoptosis)

When cells do not self-destruct, that can also cause cancer cells.

Open Ended

Healthy non-cancerous cells spend 90% of their time in interphase and only 10% in mitosis.

Is this the same for cancer cells?

Multiple Choice

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

• To help the body fight viruses and bacteria

Multiple Choice

Uncontrolled cell division which usually leads to tumors and disease is called:

• Metaphase

• Cytokinesis

• Cancer

• Diabetes

Multiple Choice

Which is NOT a phase of the cell cycle?

• the cell grows

• the nucleus divides

• the cell membrane divides

• the DNA is replicated
