answer
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
question
What would be the result if a cell completed interphase and mitosis but failed to complete cytokinesis?
answer
a and b - you would only have one cell, you would have twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell
question
A normal cell that sustains irreparable DNA damage will most likely _____.
answer
die by apoptosis
question
Which checkpoint prevents a normal cell from completing its cell cycle if it has not accurately replicated its DNA?
answer
interphase (G2-M)
question
Which is the best definition of cancer?
answer
a disease in which unregulated cell division occurs
question
Cell cycle checkpoints are present to ____.
answer
a and b - ensure that cancer does not occur, ensure that each step of the cell cycle occurs accurately
question
When your skin cells are exposed to UV light, such as in a tanning bed, DNA damage can occur. If one of these severely UV-irradiated skin cells is given a signal to divide, what are the plausible outcomes?
answer
The cell will go through apoptosis, after the damage is detected
question
Why would the cell make apoptosis the default mechanism when a problem in the cell cycle is detected?
answer
Apoptosis ensures that the cell dies instead of leading to cancer
