Draw what happens in Anaphase.

I will judge this

100
How much time should cells spend in interphase (use a percent)

90%

100

what is the definition of cancer

Uncontrolled cell growth

100

What is a stem cell

undifferentiated cell, or a cell without a job.

100

Who won the suns vs warriors game last night?

Warriors. boo

200

what is the phase that spindle fibers connect

Metaphase

200

What is the spaghetti noodle like DNA called when in interphase, before it thickens?

Chromatin

200

what are 3 common treatments for cancer

Chemo, radiation, surgery... ?

200

when do we have the most stem cells

Embryonic stage

200

A person gets a deep cut on their skin and needs to repair the damaged tissue. Which part of the cell cycle increases and why?

Mitosis, to replace the damaged tissue

300

what happens in prophase (I will accept the MOST correct answer so include everything that happens)

Chromosomes thicken, become visible, and the nuclear membrane disappears. 

300

What are the three sub phases of interphase

G1, S, G2

300

Candy question!

what phase does the cell check to see if the spindle fibers are attached to the sister chromatids?

M-phase (specifically meta phase, within the M-phase)

300

what is the difference between Pluripotent, multipotent and unipotent?

Pluri =almost any cell

Multi= only a few types (white or red blood cells)

Uni = only one cell type (already specialized)

300

BONUS CANDY QUESTION.

Look at these three patient's biopsy results. determine which most likely has cancer and why?

Patient 1. Interphase 20, Prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 0 , Telophase 1

Patient 2. Interphase 25, Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telophase 2.

Patient 3. Interphase 21, Prophase 1, Metaphase 0, Anaphase 1, Telophase 1

Patient 2 has the highest percent of cells in mitosis

patient 1 =13%

Patient 2 =  24%

Patient 3 = 12.5%

400
What is the difference between animal cells and plant cells during cytokinesis?

Animal cells squeeze in and form the cleavage furrow to form new cells, and plant cells form a cell plate down the middle. 

400

What happens during the S phase of interphase

DNA is replicated (doubles)

400

when does the cell check that DNA was copied correctly and intact?

G2

400

True or false Once a cell is specialized or has a job, it can never do anything else?

True

400

what is the largest single cell in the world?

ostrich egg. 

500

Candy Question!

where do the spindle fibers attach to the sister chromatids?

Centromere

500

What happens during G1 phase of interphase? (the most correct answer will get the points, so include everything that happens)

Doubles organelles, grows in size, continues normal functions. 

500

what are the two genes we talked about that help prevent cancer

Proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressing genes (like P53)

500

where do the majority of stem cells come from?

donations from IVF treatments (leftovers from IVF)

500

If someone has blood cancer (leukemia) why would they need bone marrow transplant and not blood transplant? What type of cells are probably contained in bone marrow

hematopoietic stem cells or blood stem cells
