MI 3.1.3 When Cells Lose Control

What is apoptosis?

• The process of cell mutation
• The process of cell division
• The process of programmed cell death
• The process of cell growth

What is the purpose of the cell cycle checkpoints?

• To make sure the cell isn't duplicating too fast

• They were there by chance and happen to help reduce the chances of cancer

• To make sure that all parts of the cell are healthy to avoid mutations

What is an oncogene?

• A gene that prevents cancer
• A gene that has no effect on cancer
• A gene that cures cancer
• A gene that has the potential to cause cancer

When is apoptosis initiated?

• When DNA damage is repaired.

• When cells are removed from the cell cycle.

• When DNA damage cannot be repaired.

Random errors in gene replication that lead to a change in the sequence of DNA

• Mutations

• Cell Cycle Checkpoints

• Mitosis

Proto-oncogenes can mutate into...

• oncogenes
• tumor suppressor genes
• DNA repair proteins

Uncontrolled cell division is stopped by...

• tumor suppressor genes
• oncogenes

Which is an example of a tumor suppressor gene?

• apoptosis
• proto-oncogenes
• p53
• oncogenes

What is osteosarcoma?

• A type of bone cancer
• A type of blood cancer

• A type of ear cancer

• A type of eye cancer

Choose the possible contributions to the development of cancer by causing changes to a cell's genes.

• Exposure to radiation, certain chemicals, and viruses
• Eating a balanced diet
• Regular exercise
• Getting enough sleep
