cell cycle cancer quiz review

What will happen to this cell if p53 is activated?

• the cell will divide

• the cell will grow

• the cell will be killed off

• p53 does not affect the cell

What type of gene is p53?

• telomerase gene

• tumor suppressor gene

• stability gene

• proto-oncogene

The Ras-Raf pathway pictured is overactive/over stimulated. It must be the product of what type of gene?

• proto-oncogene

• stability gene

• tumor suppressor gene

• oncogene

Oncogenes result in which of the following outcomes?

• cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and survival

• DNA repair, cell cycle acceleration and survival

• accelerated cell growth, cell cycle arrest and survival

• accelerated cell growth, increased cell division and survival

Stability genes ensure that

• a cell with damaged DNA is killed off

• damaged DNA is removed

• damaged DNA is preserved

• damaged DNA is repaired

Use evidence from the pathway to identify which type of gene codes for BRCA1?

• stability gene

• onocgene

• tumor suppressor gene

• apoptosis gene

• DNA damage to a proto-oncogene, inactive p53 gene, active BRCA1 gene, active telomerase

• DNA damage to a proto-oncogene, active p53 gene, inactive BRCA1 gene, active telomerase

• No DNA damage to a proto-oncogene, inactive p53 gene, inactive BRCA1 gene, active telomerase

• DNA damage to a proto-oncogene, inactive p53 gene, inactive BRCA1 gene, active telomerase

Examine the diagram, the cell in red is __________

• most likely non-cancerous because its telomeres are being shortened

• most likely cancerous, because its telomeres are being rebuilt

• most likely cancerous, because its telomeres are being shortened

• most likely non-cancerous becuse its telomeres are being rebuilt

Resisting Cell Death hallmark is best described when ...

• When the cell blocks apoptosis
• When the cell evades the signal
• When cells grow rapidly
• When cells evade suppressor proteins

Which of the following correctly describes angiogenesis?

• Growth of blood vessels that provides the tumor with nutrients and oxygen.

• Growth of blood vessels that allows tumor cells to pass certain checkpoints in the cell cycle

• Growth of blood vessels to bring in more immune cells to the tumor

• Movement of cancer cells through the body inducing the production of more red blood cells.
