Mitosis and Cancer

In this phase of the cell cycle, the cell grows bigger.

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

In this phase of the cell cycle, the cell DNA is copied.

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

In this phase of the cell cycle, the cell prepares for cell division.

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

In this phase of the cell cycle, the nucleus of the cell divides and each new nucleus gets a full set of DNA.

Any substance that is known to cause cancer is called a

• carcinogen
• nicolyte
• pathogen
• retrovirus

Metastasis is

• the spread of cancer from one part of the body to another.
• the growth of tumors in the lungs
• cancer of the blood cells
• cancer that is found in connective tissues

Cancer creates abnormal cells by disrupting

• the cell cycle
• red blood cell formation
• DNA replication
• ATP synthesis
