MI - 3.1.3 Practice Test - When Cells Lose Control

What is one characteristic that all cancers share?

• they are made up of normal cells
• they are fatal
• they are genetic
• they are abnormal cells with out of control cell division

occurs throughout the cell cycle that helps to ensure the cell can continue to the next phase

• DNA replication
• apoptosis
• bulletins
• checkpoints

procedures, done on Mike Smith, to remove tissue to confirm a diagnosis of cancer

• apoptosis
• replication
• biopsy
• all of these

A tumor suppressor gene is a gene that

• undergoes programmed cell death
• has the potential to cause cancer with a few alterations
• produces proteins that inhibit cell division
• has the potential to cause cancer

A gene having the potential to cause normal cells to become cancerous is called a(n)

• apoptosis
• cancer
• biopsy
• oncogene

These have the potential to cause cancer but requires some alteration

• cell cycle
• risk factor
• proto-oncogene
• tumor suppressor gene

These have protein products which inhibit cell division

• cell cycle
• risk factor
• proto-oncogene
• tumor suppressor gene

If a normal tumor suppression genes can not correct the mutation they will very often

• become oncogenes
• trigger cell death
• divide and reproduce
• produce incorrect proteins

A gene that actually works to keep cancer from forming is called

• tumor suppressor genes
• realized proto-oncogenes
• oncogenes
• all of the above

The mutate version of a proto-oncogene is called

• tumor suppressor genes
• realized proto-oncogenes
• oncogenes
• all of the above
