Use the interactive activity to answer the following questions in the your notebook:
The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
- What is the significance on Cell Division?
- Cells can Divide, Differentiate or Die. Explain Differentiation.
- Define the following Terms: Mitosis, Interphase, Apoptosis, Kinase, Cell Cycle Regulators
- Diagram and Explain what happens in each phase (G1, S, G2) of the Interphase cycle.
- Diagram and Explain what happens during Mitosis
- Explain the purpose of the ‘checkpoints” indicated on the interactive diagram.
- What is the G0 phase in the cell cycle? What determines if a cell goes to the G0 phase?
- What is one potential outcome when errors occur in this highly regulated cell cycle process?
Errors in Translation: Cancer
- What happens when cell regulators fail to function properly?
- Explain the difference between Stimulatory and Inhibitory proteins and provide an example of each.
- Describe two reasons cells can form tumors?
- What are oncogenes and how do they affect the cell cycle?
- Tumor suppressor genes inhibit the cell cycle. How do mutated tumor suppressor genes affect the cell cycle?
