According to question #6, which is the name of uncontrolled cell growth?
Synthesis
Cancer
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
Cancer, the uncontrolled growth of cells, often results in a tumor, or mass of abnormal cells.
Some cancerous tumors consist of many cells that are much smaller than normal. According to
Model 1, what part(s) of the cell cycle is (are) most likely being affected?
Gap 1
Synthesis
Gap 2
Mitosis

M phase
G1 phase
G2 phase
S Phase

G1 phase
G2 phase
Mitosis (M phase)
S phase
