Why do cells need to divide? (select all that are correct)

Required

1

This image shows the 4 stages of mitosis (and cytokinesis in the last picture). In which stage are chromosomes first seen as they coil up from chromatin into chromosomes?

Required

1

This image shows the 4 stages of mitosis (and cytokinesis in the last picture). In which stage are chromosomes lined up on the center line of the cell?

Required

1

What is the role of the 4 checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Required

1

Which stage of the cell cycle involves copying of all the DNA (DNA Replication)

1

Which stage of the cell cycle is where the cell moves to when the cell is not going to divide again immediately

1

Which is the ONLY stage of the cell cycle when you would see chromosomes?

1

What is the name of the process when the cell membrane pinches in then pulls apart to create to new separate daughter cells (part of M phase)?

1

The checkpoints are numbered 1 - 4 in black in the image above. At which checkpoint would the cell check to see if ALL the chromosomes were lined up correctly in the center of the cell?

1

The checkpoints are numbered 1 - 4 in black in the image above. At which checkpoint would the cell "make the decision" to divide again or NOT divide?

1

The checkpoints are numbered 1 - 4 in black in the image above. At which checkpoint would the cell check to make sure ALL the DNA had been copied?

1

What is the job of a "normal" proto-oncogene (not the mutated oncogene)?

1

What is the job of a "normal" tumor suppressor gene (not a mutated tumor suppressor gene)?

1

Which description(s) of how mutations in genes cause cancer is/are correct?

2

Select all statements that make sense based on the information shown in this grap

1

Unfortunately most risk factors for cancer are not in an individual's control therefore there is not much any one person can do to lower their risk for cancer

3

Explain how cancer cells "get" superpowers?

3

Explain how superpowers allows a cancer cell to stay alive, divide and make a tumor that can harm or kill someone?
