Cancer cells do not pass cell cycle checkpoints, and so they undergo apoptosis and die.

• True

• False

One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that

• cancer cells divide unconrollably

• normal cells divide uncontrollably

• cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA

• normal cells cannot make copies of DNA

How does cancer relate to the cell cycle?

• Cancer cells undergo cell division at a slower rate than normal cells.

• Cancer cells can bypass cell cycle checkpoints.

• Cancer cells cannot replicate DNA.

• Cancer cells are more likely to undergo apoptosis.

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

As tumors grow, their cells-

• Stop at the s phase checkpoint and dont continue

• repeat the cell cycle continuously

• grow as normal cells do too

• take over healthy cells

A cancerous cell most likely-

• Complete the cell cycle once

• Not divide the correct number of nuclei in the m phase

• Not duplicate dna in the s phase

• Will not enter the G0 phase
