Which table shows two steps of DNA replication?
The activities in the cell cycle occur during specific phases. In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
This model of the cell cycle includes two arrows that each represent a process in the cycle.
What do the two arrows represent?
People who have leukemia, a cancer that affects white blood cells, are often given Cytarabine. This drug inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Which phase of the cell cycle is most affected by Cytarabine?
Scientists can bioengineer skin in a laboratory to treat severe burns and other types of skin injuries. This bioengineered tissue is grown from living cells. The cellular process that enables the cell to grow and develop into tissue is _________.
When cells lose their ability to regulate the cell cycle, they can divide at an accelerated rate and form a mass of cells. This mass of cells is referred to as _____________.
Cells typically respond to DNA damage in three ways: by ceasing to grow and divide until the damage is repaired, by permanently ceasing the grow and divide, or by dying. In 2010 a group of scientists reported athat a certain kind of immune reaction can cause DNA damage that leads to a fourth response. DNA damage can turn off genes involved in cell-signaling pathways. Turning off these genes can cause less-mature cells to divide too rapidly, often leading to the development of __________.
