Cells and Cancer

Cell Cycle

100

These are the phases of the cell cycle

G1, S, G2, M

200

This is the phase DNA divides 

S phase

300

These are the resources necessary for cell division

Nutrients, organelles, proteins 

400

This is the purpose of the cell cycle

To make a new, healthy cell

500

This is the phase that divides the nucleus

Mitosis (M)

Cell Types

100

This is the cell type humans have

Eukaryotic Animal 

200

This cell type has a cell wall

Plant cells 

300

These are the two types of cells (spelled right) 

Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic

400

This cell is multicellular

Eukaryotic 

500

These cells cannot get cancer

Prokaryotic

Protein Synthesis

100

This is the genetic material used as the instructions for Protein Synthesis

DNA

200

This is the base that is used instead of T in RNA

U 

300

This is the base pair rule for RNA copying

A - U

C -G 

400

RNA is used to make a chain of these 

Amino Acids 

500

This is the steps of Protein Synthesis

DNA is transcribed into RNA → RNA is translated into amino acids → amino acid chain makes up the protein

DNA

100

This is the base pair rule for DNA Replication

A - T 

C - G 

200

This is where DNA lives

Nucleus

300

This is the purpose of DNA replication

Each new cell needs a copy of DNA 

400

These are the phases of DNA replication

Helicase unzips the DNA strand, p53 checks for errors and makes corrections, two new DNA strands are created

500

This is what DNA stands for

Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid

Cancer

100

An error in DNA code that can possibly cause cancer is called this. 

Mutation

200

This is the gene responsible for checking for mutations during the cell cycle

p53

300

Cancerous cells do this in the cell cycle

Ignore checkpoints, move too fast through the cell cycle and grow uncontrollably

400

Cancer can be caused by 

Genetic mutations, environmental exposures

500

This is the official name of skin cancer

Melanoma
