CELL CYCLE AND CANCER

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

Cancer creates abnormal cells by disrupting

• the cell cycle
• red blood cell formation
• DNA replication
• ATP synthesis

Where do you find checkpoints in the cell cycle?

• Only after G1 and G2

• Only after S phase

• Only after G2

• After each phase

What is the purpose of the checkpoints in the cell cycle? Select all that apply:

• To regulate the process and check for abnormalities

• Prevent water from entering the cycle

• Prevent unhealthy cells from continuing on the the cycle

• Prevent uncontrolled growth
