What is the purpose of cellular division through mitosis?
to encourage genetic diversity through sexual reproduction
for general growth and repair
What is the purpose of meiosis
to encourage genetic diversity through sexual reproduction
for growth and repair
During the cell cycle, which phase does cell growth and DNA replication occur?
Interphase
Prophase
Anaphase
Metaphase
What gene is often mutated to become inactive that could lead to cancers?
p53
EVR1
p57
helicase
True or False: the more a cell divides, the more likely it is to have its DNA mutate and become cancerous.
True
False
When a virus infects a cell, it _________
forces mitosis to start
injects its DNA into the host DNA
turns off the checkpoints in the cell cycle
all of the above
Genetic mutations that are inherited are passed down from parents. Does this happen during mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis
Meiosis
Genetic mutations that happen after conception (not inherited) are due to
Mitosis
Meiosis
What can cancer cells do that normal cells cannot?
they do everything the same
go through cellular division
regenerate their telomeres, allowing them to not age
What is the best description of a chromosome?
tightly wound DNA that is ready for cell division
long stretched strands of DNA
molecules that form cells
What is the purpose of checkpoints in the cell cycle?
to be annoying to the cell
to ensure the cell is the correct size, the DNA was replicated correctly, and the chromosomes line up correctly
to allow mutations to move through the cell cycle
Do you feel ready for your Post-Test on Monday?
Yes, totally!
No, not at all...
I've got a lot to study
We're getting there!
