During the first stage of Interface (growth stage 1), how many chromosomes does a cell have? | 23 chromosomes. |
At what step does the cell lose its nuclear envelope disappear | The nuclear envelope disappears during the prophase. |
What do the spindle fibers do during metaphase? | The spindle fibers attach onto the chromosomes and line them up in the middle. |
What occurs during the second stage of Interface and what is it called? | During the synthesis phaser, the chromosomes replicate in the nucleus and generate 2x the original amount of chromosomes. |
When the spindle fibers pull half of the chromosomes towards each centriole, what step of mitosis is it called? | This step is called anaphase. |
Spindle fibers go back into what during the Telophase? | They go back to the centrioles. |
If a cell checkpoint checks for nutrients and can't find enough of it, can a cell still undergo mitosis? Explain. | It cannot as the cell cycle requires nutrients to support growth. |
What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis? | Mitosis involve the nucleus dividing while cytokinesis involves the cells dividing. |
When lysosomes kill off cells that are too old or dysfunctional, what is it called? | It is called apoptosis. |
While cancer cells can undergo mitosis an unlimited number of times, how many times can normal cells undergo mitosis? | Normal cells can only undergo mitosis 50-60 times. |
Why do surgeons have to remove tumors from the body once they get too large? | Tumors never die on their own and they can grow even larger due to their uncontrollable urge to divide. |
