Cell Cycle, Meiosis, and Cancer

The cell spends most of it's life in ________________.

• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis
• Interphase
• None of the above

In the S stage of interphase....

• The cell grows
• The nucleus divides
• The cell membrane divides
• The DNA is replicated

Why does the S phase always occur before the M phase in the cell cycle?

• The cell must have 2 sets of chromosomes in order to complete M phase
• The cell must grow to a certain size before beginning M phase
• The cell must complete all the necessary checkpoints in order to enter M phase
• The cell must begin the process of cytokinesis before beginning the M phase

Uncontrollable cell growth is known as _____

• Obesity
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Hepatitis

A cancer causing agent is called a(n)...

• Somatic mutation
• Carcinogen
• Oncogene
• Germline mutation

Why does chemotherapy cause nausea and a person's hair to fall out?

• The dying tumor cells cause these effects on the body
• Chemotherapy kills all rapidly dividing cells in the body
