Mitosis
This is the end product of mitosis.
Two identical daughter cells
Females have this chance of developing cancer in their lifetimes.
One in three
Interphase
This is any change to the nucleotide sequence of DNA.
Mutation
One type of therapy used to treat cancer is this, which convinces the body's immune system to identify cancer cells as "nonself".
Immunotherapy
Genetic material condenses into chromosomes in this phase of mitosis.
Prophase
Most cancers are named after this.
This word is used to identify that chromosomes code for the same traits, just different versions of that trait due to the fact that they come from 2 parents.
Homologous
This is added to nucleotides in a DNA molecule in order to identify the DNA sequence.
Fluorescent Tags
Radiation disrupts this element of the cells, causing cancer cells to either slow or stop dividing.
DNA
Chromosomes line up at the cell "equator" during this phase.
Metaphase
Mutations in this gene are associated with a higher likelihood of developing cancer in the breast or ovaries.
BRCA
This is an important characteristic of cells that allows them to have a specific purpose in the body, and is also ignored by cancerous cells.
Specialized
This technology is used to amplify, or make copies, of a gene of interest in order to find mutations in cancer causing genes.
PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
Alkaloids prevent cells from forming spindle fibers and therefore prevent cell division. What phase of the cell cycle is this directly targeting?
M Phase
Homologous chromosomes separate into sister chromatids at this stage of mitosis.
Anaphase
Sarcoma
This is the 5 carbon sugar present in the nucleotides of DNA.
deoxyribose
When this type of gene is activated, cell division is promoted. A single mutation in this type of gene can cause them to be "stuck" on, turning them in to oncogenes.
Proto-oncogenes
This type of radiation has the shortest wavelength, therefore having the highest amount of energy.
Gamma Rays
These form at each pole of the cell and attach to chromosomes during prophase in order to eventually pull the chromosomes apart.
Spindle fibers
This is a state of steady internal, physical and chemical conditions that is disrupted by cancer.
Homeostasis
This holds together the sister chromatids that are created during S phase.
p53 and BRCA1 are examples of this type of gene.
Tumor-Suppressor gene
Taxanes are chemotherapeutic drugs derived from yew trees. It inhibits cell division by preventing the breakdown of microtubules during mitosis. This disrupts the transition from this stage of mitosis to this next stage of mitosis. (Answer is 2 words)
