Uncontrolled cell growth
What is cancer?
|
Process in which cells become specialized in structure & function
What is differentiation?
|
Cells that are able to develop into any type of cell found in the body.
What is totipotent?
|
One of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
What is a cylin?
|
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
What are the stages of mitosis in order?
|
Smoking, chewing tobacco, radiation exposure & viral infection
What are some main causes of cancer?
|
A cells ultimate identity.
What does the process of differentiation determine?
|
Only the fertilized egg & the cells produced by the first few cells divisions of embryonic development.
What makes a fertilized egg truly totipotent?
|
Regulatory proteins both inside and outside the cell
What is the cell cycle controlled by?
|
Nuclear envelope breaks down and a spindle forms between to centrioles.
What happens during Prophase?
|
The control over the cell cycle has broken down
What do all cancers have in common?
|
Specific path toward a role as a particular kind of cell
What do daughter cells from each cell division follow?
|
Human embryo forms in blastocyst.
What happens after about 4 days of development during human development?
|
Anaphase
Another regulatory protein prevents a cell from ______ until the spindle fibers have attached to the chromosomes.
|
Chromosomes move and align themselves at the center of the cell called metaphase plate. Spindle fibers connect each chromosome on its centromere to the centrioles located at opposite places.
What happens during Metaphase?
|
Their tendency to spread once entered through bloodstream
What makes cancer cells dangerous?
|
A number of interacting factors in the embryo
What is the controlling factor in cell differentiation for mammals?
|
They cannot form the tissues surrounding the embryo
What can cells that are pluripotent not do?
|
External regulatory proteins
Proteins that respond to the events outside the cell are called _________.
|
The sister chromatids of each chromosome divide and move toward opposite poles due to the short ening of the spindle fibers.
What happes Anaphase?
|
Cells to lose the info needed to respond to signals that control their growth.
What do damaged or defective p53 genes cause?
|
Highly differentiated cells that carry out the jobs we need to stay alive.
What do our bodies and the loadies of all multicellular organisms contain?
|
Stem cells
What are the unspecialized cells from which differentiated cells develop known as?
|
They cause cells to slow down or stop their cell cycles.
What is the opposite effect of external regulatory proteins?
|
The chromatids re located on opposite poles. Nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes which start to uncoil. The spindle fibers dissolve and disappear.
What happens during Telophase?
