• normal division of cells

• normal DNA replication

• abnormal ATP synthesis

Cell programmed self destruction is called

• Atopic

• Apoptosis

• Abi-normal

• Anticellular

• Genetic changes (mutations)

• Angiogenesis

• Sustained cell growth

• Resisting cell death (Apoptosis)

  G2 - Gap 2 phase

• G1 - Gap 1 phase

  S - Synthesis phase

what is cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)?

• uncontrolled cell growth and division. It is basically related to the abnormal functioning of cell cycle regulators

• an enzyme that controls the cell cycle and is activated by cyclin

• achieved by a group of proteins, called cyclins, and enzymes, known as cyclin-dependent kinases.

• enter the blood vessels which may carry them to different parts of the body. In this way, cancer will be spread throughout the body.

Cells spend the majority of their lives in

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Synthesis 
• Gap 2
