🗑
What feature is characteristic of all cancers   Uncontrolled cell division  
🗑
What are the two types of tumors   Malignant and benign  
🗑
Benign   Cells remain clustered together  
🗑
Malignant   Cells invade other tissues or break up and move to other parts of the body  
🗑
What are two features of cancerous cells that make them harmful   They do not perform specialized functions. They absorb body nutrients. They put pressure on other organs and systems  
🗑
What causes normal cells to become cancerous cells   Damage to regulatory genes  
🗑
Cancer cells Carrie mutations in two types of genes   Oncogenes: accelerate the cell cycle Second type of genes: act as cell cycle brakes  
🗑
Sources of mutation in cancer causing genes include   Inherited errors in errors. Exposure to radiation or chemicals  
🗑
Carcinogens   Substances known to produce or promote cancer  
🗑
Three cancer causing agents   Tobacco smoke. Air pollutants. Viruses  
🗑
What are stages 1 2 & 3 called collectively   Interphase  
🗑
What occurs during interphase   Cell growth  
🗑
M Mitosis and cytokinesis   M Make up stage four  
🗑
What a occurs during stage four   Cell division  
🗑
What is the purpose of the cell cycle   Growth and division  
🗑
Interphase   Period of growth. Contains G1 S And G2.  
🗑
What is chromatin   Uncondensed DNA  
🗑
Mitosis   DNA condenses and becomes visible. Now called chromosomes. Nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear.  
🗑
Prophase   Chromatin condenses into tightly coiled chromosomes. Each contains two identical sister chromatids. This breaks down the nuclear envelope. This disappears nucleolus.  
🗑
Prophase   These begin to move to These begin to move to opposite sides of cell: Centrosomes and centrioles These form from centrioles Spindle fibers  
🗑
M Metaphase   C Chromosomes line up along center of Cell.. Each held in place by spindle fibers attached to Kinectochotre  
🗑
Anaphase   The two chromatids separate at centromere. Each chromatid now called a chromosome move toward opposite poles. Microtubules pulled into poles and disappear  
🗑
Telophase   Chromosomes uncoil in return to chromatin form. Centrioles and spend a fibers disappear. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reform  
🗑
Cytokinesis   Cytoplasm and replicated organelles divide in half and form to new identical cells (animals):Pinched and have the cell membrane grows to enclose both cells  
🗑
Cytokinesis: plants   Plants form a cell plate across the middle of the cell a new cell wall then forms on both sides
