Other Answer Choices:
doubled dad chromosome
mom chromosome
"small" doubled homologous chromosome
"big" doubled homologous chromosome
dad chromosome
doubled mom chromosome
Required
7
Other Answer Choices:
G0 - cell doing "job", but not dividing
M phase - mitosis AND cytokinesis
Cytokinesis - dividing the cell parts and splitting the cell into 2 daughter cells
G2 - Gap 2 - cell is preparing for cell division
S - DNA synthesis - cell is copying its DNA
G1 - Gap 1 - cell is growing
Mitosis - moving and separating chromosomes
Required
4
Identify the 4 checkpoints of the cell cycle
Other Answer Choices:
S Check Point - is all the DNA duplicated?
G2 Check Point - is DNA all duplicate correctly and no damage?
G1 Check Point - leave cell cycle to "do job" or commit to divide?
M Check Point - are all chromosomes lined up correctly at metaphase?

Put these images in order from first to last

Required

Match the description of the stage of mitosis with the picture of the stage

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
plant cell - telophase & cytokinesis - chromosomes reach opposite ends of cell & begin to go back to chromatin. Cell wall begins to form between 2 daughter cells
plant cell - prophase - begin to see chromosomes coiling up from chromatin
plant cell - metaphase - chromosomes line up at center line.
plant cell - anaphase - chromosomes pulled apart to opposite poles of cell

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

Required
5
Draggable itemCorresponding Item
BECOMING IMMORTAL
Superpower of Cancer - cancer cells break free from original tumor and travel through the body to create new tumors in different areas of the body
INVADING TISSUES
Superpower of Cancer - that allows cells to divide more quickly than normal cells
GROWING UNCONTROLLABLY
Superpower of Cancer - where cell is able to keep the tips of its chromosomes (telomeres) LONG so that cell can continue to divide FOREVER
PROMOTING MUTATIONS
Superpower of Cancer - where because cells have acquired some mutations become unstable which then lead to even more mutations (and more superpowers)
PROCESSING NUTRIENTS
Superpower of Cancer - where cells are able to create and send signals for blood vessels to grow into the tumor so tumor can continue to grow
Required

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

Required
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?

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?
