Mutations to DNA occur during which part of the cell cycle?
Complete the flowchart below in order to explain how some cancers can form.
Exposure to carcinogens (smoking, UV radiation)
Unregulated mutations within cells
Regulated division of healthy daughter cells
Formation of cancer/tumor
Which of the following are caused by disruptions to the cell cycle?
Select three correct answers.
Apoptosis is which is important for .
If apoptosis is unregulated (too much or too little apoptosis), this can lead to.
What happens if checkpoints are skipped, and the cell fails to complete apoptosis?
Which side represents cancerous cells?
What reason would cells start replicating quickly on side B?
Which of the following best describes cancer?
Why is it important to keep the cell cycle regulated (controlled)?
The cell cycle and apoptosis are regulated processes. Below, match the result for when apoptosis in regulated or unregulated.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Regulated apoptosis | arrow_right_alt | Cells do not die and can form tumors |
Too little apoptosis | arrow_right_alt | Healthy cells die and cause diseases |
Too much apoptosis | arrow_right_alt | Removes old, damaged, or mutated cells |
