24. The two major parts of the cell cycle are _____Interphase______and ______Mitosis______.

25. What is the name of the structure that connects the two sister chromatids together to form a chromosome? ______Centromere______.

26. DNA has three forms but what is the difference between chromosomes, sister chromatids, and chromatin?

CHROMATIN is uncoiled and the form that DNA is usually found in a cell that is NOT dividing. When a cell is going to divide, it coils up the chromatin to form CHROMOSOMES, which are packages of DNA that are much easier to divide evenly among the 2 new cells. A chromosome is made up of two sister CHROMATIDS and a centromere.

27. What structure anchors the spindle? ______centriole______.

28. Label the boxes (they are lettered) in the diagram below with the correct stage of the cell cycle. Then label the individual structures (they are the numbered ones) in the diagram as well.

29. How many daughter cells are created from mitosis and cytokinesis? ______2______

30. During what phase does cytokinesis begin? ______Telophase______

31. In the cell pictured in the above diagram, how many chromosomes are present during prophase? __4__

32. What is the purpose of mitosis? Why do cells need to reproduce?

To replace old/dead cells (i.e. skin cells, etc.), for growth and development (need more cells in order to get bigger), and to produce identical daughter cells (do not want our cells to look different or our bodies will not recognize them as our own).

33. How many phases are in MITOSIS? ______4______

34. Which phase of the cell cycle is the longest? ___Interphase______

35. Which phase of mitosis is the longest? ___Prophase______

36. Label the structures and phases below for more practice.

37. Why is it important for a cell’s DNA to be duplicated before cell division?

The DNA needs to be duplicated before the cell divides SO THAT both new daughter cells have the SAME AMOUNT of DNA.

53 1 4 2

38. Place numbers under the pictures in the diagram above showing the cell cycle to order them first to last.

39. What are the duplicate halves of a chromosome called? ______Chromatids______

40. Draw a chromosome below. Label sister chromatid and centromere.

41. During which phase of the cell cycle is chromatin doubled into what will become sister chromatids?

Interphase

42. What is the spindle?

The spindle is a set of fibers that forms during prophase that help to position chromosomes during metaphase and pull them apart during anaphase.

43. What is the centriole?

The centriole is an organelle that forms during interphase (growth period) and is that anchor for the spindle fibers and helps shorten the spindle during anaphase to pull apart chromosomes and move them to the opposite ends of the cell.

44. Fill in the chart below.

Interphase
/ DNA is called Chromatin because it is uncoiled and in strands surrounding proteins.
DNA is Copied/Duplicated during Interphase /
  1. Cell grows and develops
  1. Cell carries out protein synthesis
  1. Cell spends 90% of its life in this stage.
  1. Cell builds organelles and structures that it needs (i.e. centrioles)

Prophase
/ DNA is called Chromosomes
In this stage, chromatin from interphase coils up into visible chromosomes. /
  1. Spindle Fibers form
  1. Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of cell (poles)
  1. Nuclear Envelope and Nucleolus disappear
  1. Chromatin coils up into chromosomes

Metaphase / DNA is called chromosomes /
  1. The spindle fibers attach to chromosomes and move them to the middle or equator of the cell.

Anaphase / DNA is called chromatids /
  1. The centromere of the chromosome splits and the two sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

Telophase
/ DNA is called Chromatin /
  1. Chromatids uncoil into chromatin
  1. Nucleolus and Nuclear Envelope Reappear
  1. Spindle breaks down
  1. Centrioles break down

45. At the end of telophase, the cell divides into 2 daughter cells via a process called _cytokinesis____

46. What is cancer? Uncontrolled Mitosis or Uncontrolled Cell Division.There must be a change in the DNA (mutation) that causes the cell to lose control of its cell cycle and constantly divide

47. What are some of the factors that might lead to cancer in humans? List several.

UV radiation from the sun, Air and Water Pollution, Asbestos, tobacco products including smoking, viruses, mercury, etc.

48. What is the difference between a benign tumor and a malignant tumor?

A benign tumor is considered non-cancerous and will not spread because it is encapsulated. A malignant tumor is considered cancerous and can spread if not treated. A malignant tumor will metastasize.

49. What is metastasis? What is happening when cancer metastasizes?

Metastasis is the spread of cancer from the area where it started to other parts of the body. When cancer metastasizes, it is spreading and cancer is moving to different and much worse stages of development.

50. What are the molecules that help regulate the cell cycle called? ______Enzymes______

51. Into which group of macromolecules are the molecules above classified as? ___Proteins_____

52. What is remission?

Remission is when cancer recedes (goes away) and there is no detectable trace of it left. It occurs after a course of treatment like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery to remove the cancer.

53. What is the name of the specialist physician a person would see if they had a cancer? _Oncologist__

54. What are some of the practices that humans can do to reduce their risk of cancer? List several

Eating healthy and avoid eating meals consistently high in fat; by wearing sunscreen;

55. Order the steps of cancer formation below from first to last using numbers 1-6.

__5__ A tumor develops (person has cancer)

__1___ A mutagen or carcinogen causes an error

to occur in DNA

__6__ Metastasis of cancer

__2__ Defective DNA codes for a defective gene

__4__ The cell cycle cannot stop because

enzymes are damaged

__3__ The defective gene creates a faulty

enzyme

56. What are some of the more common treatments for various cancer types?

Some cancers can be treated through dietary changes.

Chemotherapy – injecting the patient with chemicals that specifically target cells that are dividing (going through mitosis) which in turn targets tumor/cancerous cells.

Radiation therapy – where the medical teams target tumors/cancerous cells with radiation such as x-rays to kill off these bad cells.

Nuclear medicine – where the patient is injected with radioactive elements that specifically target tumors and cancerous cells in hopes to reduce the size of tumor or kill it entirely.

Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
