Cancer & Stem Cells

Which checkpoint checks for cell size, takes inventory to see if the cell has everything it needs for division, checks for DNA damage and that DNA replication is complete.

• G1

• G0

• G2

• Metaphase

Which checkpoint checks for availability of nutrients, growth factors, and DNA damage?

• G1

• G0

• G2

• Metaphase

Which checkpoint checks to ensure that the chromosomes are correctly attached to the spindle fibers?

• G1

• G0

• G2

• M or Spindle Checkpoint

Which checkpoint is also known as the spindle checkpoint?

• G0

• G2

• Metaphase

This stage is also known as the resting stage.

• G1

• G0

• G2

• Metaphase

If a cell doesn't pass the checkpoints, it should go into this stage (the resting stage).

• G1

• G0

• G2

• Metaphase

Neurons (nerve cells) spend their entire lives in this stage, which is why they don't divide.

• G1

• G0

• G2

• Metaphase

The uncontrolled growth and division of cells because they don't respond to the signals that regulate growth.

• Benign

• Stem Cells

• Cancer

• Differentiation

This process determines the cell's ultimate identity (stomach cell, heart cell, etc)?

• Benign

• Stem Cells

• Cancer

• Differentiation
