Cell Cycle and Cancer

The growth phase of the cell cycle is called

• Interphase

• Telophase

• Prophase

• Anaphase

The division phase of the cell cycle is called...

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Metaphase

• Cytokinesis

Cancer creates abnormal cells by disrupting

• the regulation of cell cycle

• red blood cell formation

• DNA replication

• ATP synthesis

Answer explanation

Cancer disrupts the regulation of the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell division and the formation of abnormal cells. This choice correctly identifies the primary mechanism by which cancer develops.

During a biology class, Michael learned that cancer creates abnormal cells by disrupting

• the regulation of cell cycle

• red blood cell formation

• DNA replication

• ATP synthesis

Answer explanation

Cancer disrupts the regulation of the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell division and the formation of abnormal cells. This choice correctly identifies the primary mechanism by which cancer develops.

Which of the following best describes cancer?

• absence of cyclins in the DNA

• Multiple gene mutations on a chromosome of DNA

• Uncontrolled cell growth caused by mutations in genes that control the cell cycle.

• Presence of genetic defects caused by hereditary disorders. 

Which of the following best explains what cancer is and how it is related to the cell cycle?

• Cells that have been stopped at G0 and are no longer dividing

• Unregulated cell division, where cells grow and divide much quicker than they normally would

• Mutated cells that do not grow or divide as efficiently as they normally would

• None of the above
