Cell Cycle & Cancer Checkpoint Quiz

What is cancer?

• The heart does not receive enough blood.

• Sudden disruption of blood flow to part of the brain.

• Blood filled weak spot.

• Uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells.

Which type of cell growth results in more cells being produced? (1 point)

• cancer cel growth

• normal cell growth

Which of the following is true of the two types of cell growth? (1 point)

• normal cells cannot control their growth

• cancer cells grow at a slower rate than normal cells

• cancer cells grow at a faster rate than normal cells

• normal cell growth results in more cels being produced

• Anaphase

• Cytokinesis

• Telophase

• Metaphase

• Cytokinesis

• Interphase

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

Interphase:

• occupies the majority of the cell cycle

• includes DNA replication

• includes growth of cell

• all are correct

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 general, the purpose of a checkpoint in the cell cycle is:

• To allow the cell to rest

• To check for any errors

• To signal cell replication

• To signal DNA replication
