Question
Answer
How does cell division differ between a normal cell and a cancerous cell?   Cancer cells do not follow any signals given by proto-oncogenes and will divide at any time.  
🗑
What is the cause of cancer? (scientific)   Changes in DNA  
🗑
During what part of a cells life does damage occur to cause cancer?   G1  
🗑
What is an oncogene? What is their source?   Oncogenes are genes responsible for making cells divide. Their source is proto-oncogenes  
🗑
What is a tumor suppressor gene?   A tumor suppressor gene stops cell division.  
🗑
What is angiogenesis?   Angiogenesis is the process which tumors trick the body to provide them with nutrients and increase the blood levels.  
🗑
What is metastasis?   Metastasis is the movement of the tumor cells throughout the body  
🗑
What is apoptosis?   Apoptosis is cell suicide  
🗑
What are some factors that can result in cancer? (Causes)   Chemicals (smoking), family history, radiation, UV Light  
🗑
What happens when damage occurs to the genes that regulate the cell cycle?   Tumor suppressors stop working and cell division becomes uncontrollable.  
🗑
What happens in the G1 phase?   Growth  
🗑
What happens in the S phase?   Copies DNA  
🗑
What happens in the G2 phase?   Prepares for Chromosome seperation  
🗑
What do centrosomes create?   Centrosomes create spindle fibers  
🗑
What do spindle fibers do?   Spindle fibers help guide the chromosomes to the poles of the cell  
🗑
What happens to DNA in prophase?   DNA Condenses into chromosomes  
🗑
What is DNA in loose strands called?   DNA in loose strands is called chromatin  
🗑
Where do centrosomes move to in prophase?   Centrosomes move farther away from each other in prophase  
🗑
Where are chromosomes in metaphase?   Center of the cell  
🗑
Where are chromosomes in anaphase?   Chromosomes have just seperate at the centromere  
🗑
Where are chromosomes in telophase?   Chromosomes are at the poles of the cell  
🗑
What kind of organism uses binary fission?   Bacteria  
🗑
A or S: 1 Organism   Asexual  
🗑
A or S: No moving   Asexual  
🗑
A or S: Less energy required   Asexual  
🗑
A or S: Genetic Variation   Sexual  
🗑
A or S: Lots of energy required   Sexual  
🗑
A or S: 2 Organisms   Sexual  
🗑
A or S: Adaptable   Sexual  
🗑
A or S: Cannot be wiped out by single disease   Sexual  
🗑
A or S: Several months   Sexual  
🗑
A or S: Quick   Asexual  
🗑
What type of organisms do asexual reproduction?   Plants and unicellular organisms  
🗑
What type of organisms do sexual reproduction?   Mammals and fish  
🗑
What does bacteria do before it divides?   Makes copy of its DNA  
🗑
What is fragmentation?   An organism splits into pieces and each piece develops into a new organism  
🗑
What organisms use fragmentations?   Worms, starfish  
🗑
What is budding?   An organism forms a growth that develops into a new organism and then breaks off  
🗑
What organisms use budding?   Jellyfish  
🗑
What type of organisms uses sporulation?   Mushrooms  
🗑
What causes sexual reproduction in fungi?   Adverse Conditions (bad)  
🗑
What is an alteration in a gene called?   Mutation  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
