Use the diagram to answer the question below. A = InterphaseB = G1C = SD = G2E = ProphaseF = MetaphaseG = AnaphaseH = TelophaseI = MitosisJ = Cytokinesis Use the image to answer the questions below. This image is shuffled and the stages are NOT in order. A = ProphaseB = TelophaseC = MetaphaseD = InterphaseE = Anaphase Match the phase with the correct definition. prophase nucleus disappears; centrioles appear metaphase chromosomes line up in middle anaphase chromosomes begin to separate telophase cell is pinched, beginning to form two cells Match the stage with the correct definition. Interphase the "inbetween" period before division. G1 cell grows in size S DNA is replicated G2 Cell prepares to divide M phase Nucleus and cytoplasm divide Match the definition with the correct term. Structure composed of DNA that contains genetic material chromosome Long strands of DNA found in the eukaryotic cell nucleus, condense to form chromosomes chromatin proteins that package and order DNA histones The area of attachment of two chromatids in a double-stranded chromosome centromere An enzyme that creates DNA molecules by matching nucleotides to their base pairs during DNA replication DNA Polymerase The division of the cytoplasm at the end of mitosis cytokinesis An enzyme used in DNA replication that breaks the hydrogen bonds between the strands of DNA DNA helicase In your own words, what is cancer? What are some different factors that contribute to the creation of cancer in the body? If a cell cannot be fixed during one of the checkpoints, the cell can potentially go through apoptosis- which is a form of self destruction. True False What is a tumor? Lastly, research any type of cancer (you choose which one), explain the cause of this type of cancer and answer the following questions- is it internally or externally caused or both? What are the ways this type of cancer is treated? What are some symptoms or ways people know they have this type of cancer?
