The level of cyclins in a cell increases during the M phase of the cell cycle. What might happen to a cell if no cyclins were present during the M phase?

A cell that lacked cyclins would probably not undergo mitotic division, and then it would continue to grow, have DNA overload, and exchange materials inefficiently until it dies.

What effect does cell size have on a cell's ability to efficiently carry out its activities?

A large cell carries out its activities less efficiently than a small one does.

Normal cells grown in a petri dish tend to divide until they form a thin layer covering the bottom of the dish. How would you expect cancer cells to behave in this situation?

Cancer cells are not constrained by crowding and would probably continue to grow after forming a thin layer covering the bottom of the petri dish.

How do cancer cells differ from normal cells?

Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that control the growth of normal cells. As a result, cancer cells form tumors and can spread throughout the body.

Which of the following happens when a cell divides?

Each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell's DNA.

Stem cells taken from embryos are totipotent.

False

Cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth and division.

True

metaphase

The two main stages of cell division are called

mitosis and cytokinesis.

Compared to small cells, large cells have more trouble

moving needed materials in and waste products out.

multicellular organisms only.

When during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible?

only during cell division

What phase of mitosis is labeled 2 in Figure 10-9 above?

prophase

An advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction

provides genetic diversity

Cancer cells form masses of cells called

tumors.

As a cell becomes larger, its

volume increases faster than its surface area.

The rate at which wastes are produced by a cell partially depends on the cell's

volume.

Results in two daughter cells. Mitosis and Cytokinesis occur during this phase. 6.The cytoplasm divides and two cells are formed. The final step in cell division. This step usually takes place during telophase.

The centrioles separate, the spindle begins to form, and the nuclear envelope breaks down. 3.The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. 4.Sister chromatids separate and move along the spindle fibers toward opposite ends of the cell. 5.The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. Two new nuclear envelopes form.

Which of the following are two problems that growth causes for cells?

As a cell grows larger, more demands are placed on its DNA, and the cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane.

Which type of reproduction, sexual or asexual, is best suited for organisms that live in a place where environmental conditions are stable?

Because the offspring of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to parents, they have the characteristics that help them survive in the conditions in which the parent cells survived. They might not have characteristics to survive should the conditions change.

How are embryonic stem cells different from adult stem cells?

Embryonic stem cells come from embryos and are pluripotent, whereas adult stem cells come from adults and are only multipotent.

In eukaryotes, the spindle breaks down during prophase and re-forms during telophase.

False

Mitosis is a form of sexual reproduction, because the daughter cells that form are identical to the parent cell.

False

Most of a cell's growth takes place during the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

Why is harvesting adult stem cells less controversial than harvesting embryonic stem cells?

Harvesting adult stem cells do not generally harm the donor, whereas harvesting embryonic stem cells usually destroys the embryo.

How are metaphase and anaphase different?

In metaphase the sister chromatids are still attached to one another and are found in the middle of the cell, whereas in anaphase the sister chromatids have separated and are beginning to move to opposite sides of the cell.

What is the the difference between cytokinesis in plant cells and animal cells?

In plant cells, a cell plate forms in the cytoplasm midway between each new nucleus. The cell plate gradually develops into a separating membrane, and a cell wall begins to appear in the cell plate.
