If the S-phase was eliminated from the cell cycle, the daughter cell would

• have half the genetic material found in the parental cell

• be genetically identical

• be genetically identical to the parent cell

• synthesize the missing genetic material on their own

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

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

Cancer cells:

• Lose the ability to divide

• Divide more slowly than normal cells

• Spend less time in Interphase

• Spend less time in mitosis/cytokinesis

Which Cancer mutation would be similar to the gas pedal of a car causing the cell cycle to constantly be running

• Proto-oncogenes

• Tumor Suppressor genes

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell spend the most time?

• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis
• Interphase

Which is in sequence of the cell cycle.

• C-M-G1-S

• G1-S-G2-M

• G1-G2-S-M

• M-S-G1-G2

Normal cells become cancer when

• regulation of cell growth and division occurs

• cells do not respond to checkpoints of the cell cycle

• cells respond to control mechanisms

• cell pass through G1

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
