A student produced a model to demonstrate the cell cycle and its importance in the development of cancer cells.
In which location of the student's diagram would exposure to radiation would cause cancer cells to develop due to mutations AND explain why.
Elliot is observing some cells under the microscope and made the following observations:
No visible nucleus
Spindle fibers are present
Chromosomes are separated to opposite poles
What phase of the cell cycle is he MOST LIKELY observing?
Observe the graph below and complete the sentence.
In the graph above, Stage 2 represents while Stage 4 represents .
The p53 gene in mammalian cells is known to stop the cell cycle in response to damaged DNA. If this gene is damaged without repair, which of the following is most likely to occur?
Cells pass through multiple checkpoints before entering mitosis. If DNA damage is detected, the cells do not enter mitosis until the damage is repaired.
Why does the damaged DNA need to be repaired before the cell enters mitosis?
A model of a DNA molecule is shown below.
The arrow in the picture above is pointing at which is responsible for .

Which of these correctly identifies the structures in the diagram above?
Individuals who are lactose intolerant have low lactase enzyme activity which leads to trouble digesting many dairy/milk products.
Certain individuals have a mutation in the MCM6 gene, which allows them to produce more active lactase enzymes that aide in digestion of dairy products.
What factor is responsible for determining if someone can produce the enzyme needed to digest lactose?
