Scientists have reported that more than 95% of the factors that lead to some types of cancers are caused by random DNA-copying errors. During which phase of the cell cycle do these DNA-copying errors most likely occur?
When cells lose their ability to regulate the cell cycle, they can divide at an accelerated rate an form a mass of cells. This mass of cells is referred to as --

Cell division is regulated by a variety of internal and external signals. What reasons might a cell undergo cell division?
Select THREE answers.
A student observed an onion root tip cell under a microscope and made the following observations.
Sister chromatids are separating
Spindle fibers are attached at the centromere
There is no visible nucleolus
What phase of the cell cycle is this student MOST LIKELY observing?
A student was listing the steps of DNA replication. Her ideas are listed below, but they are out of order.
I. During S phase, the DNA double helix is unwound by an enzyme
II. Two identical strands of DNA are formed
III. During S phase, an enzyme adds complementary nucleotides to each strand of DNA
IV. The cell enters S phase with one set of DNA
What is the correct order for the steps of DNA replication?
