PAP Biology Review: Cell Cycle and Recall
1)Draw the cell cycle with all of its phases and explain what happens at each phase.
2)A new species of a rodent has 30 chromosomes. Explain what happens from start to end of the cell cycle and each phase of mitosis.
3)What would happen to the daughter cells of any kind of parent cell if the S phase was skipped?
4)Why does Interphase take up so much of the cell cycle?
5)Explain why cancer causes a depletion of nutrients from all other cells besides the cells that are cancerous.
6)What relationship does volume and surface area have in a growing cell?
7)What is cytokinesis and when does this occur?
8)What role do the spindle fibers have in cell division?
9)Explain the relationship of sister chromatids, centromeres, and chromosomes.
10)What is the purpose of mitosis? What is the end goal?
11)Given what you know about the cell cycle, how does cancer occur?
12)Explain what cyclins are and what they do.
13)Why would some cells divide at a fast rate than others?
14)Define osmosis.
15)Define diffusion.
16)Give an example for each of the following solutions: hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions.
17)Compare and contrast passive and active transport. Give examples of each.
18)What is homeostasis and how can cells achieve this?
19)What is a gene? What do genes code for? Where would genes be located?
20)What are the 2 types of cells?
21)Give 3 main differences between plant and animal cells?
22)What are 3 types of RNA and their role in making proteins?
23)Name 4 biomolecules and how they can be identified.
24)What is an isotope?
25)Explain the difference between dependent and independent variables. Give examples
26)If all of your somatic cells have the same DNA, how are they so different? (Ex. Bone cells vs. Skin cells)
27)Explain what diploid and haploid are. Give the symbols for each.
28)Explain what the following gene mutations: Insertion/ Deletion and Point Mutation.
29)Understanding cell Differentiation, describe the functions of the following cells:
-blood cells:
-nerve cells:
-muscle cells (can you name three types?):
-skin cells:
-bone cells:
