Prokaryotes Vs. Eukaryotes
Mitosis only occurs in...
Eukaryotes
What is asexual reproduction?
A single parent creating an offspring
Tumors that are not cancerous are called?
Benign tumors
What do normal cells undergo that cancer cells never undergo?
Apoptosis
What causes proto-oncogenes to become oncogenes?
Mutations
What type of cell division do Prokaryotes do?
Binary Fission
Binary fission creates two daughter cells that are?
Genetically identical to the parent cell
Cancerous tumors are called?
Malignant tumors
What do cancer cells undergo that normal cells do not?
Metastasis
What codes for proteins that inhibit the cell cycle and promote apoptosis in various ways?
Tumor suppressor genes
Protists and some fungi are Eukaryotes and reproduce in what way?
Asexual reproduction
What is vegetative reproduction?
The formation of a new plant on a stem or underground structure of a parent plant
When malignant tumors detach and lodge in different places it is called?
Metastasis
Cancer cells often have extra copies of...
Genes
The enzyme that maintains the length of telomeres.
Telomerase
Eukaryotes have a nucleus while Prokaryotes have?
Nucleoid
Budding is when...
a new organism is growing on the surface of the parent
Cancer cells do not undergo...
Apoptosis
Normal cells have contact inhibition while cancerous cells lack this. What is contact inhibition and what does it control?
Contact inhibition is contact with neighboring cells, it controls mitosis
How do tumor suppressors promote cancer development?
Becoming inactive
How do Prokaryotes gain genetic diversity?
By transferring plasmids through conjugation Pili
List two reasons why asexual reproduction is beneficial.
It's not required to find a mate, a bunch of organisms are reproduced, less energy is used, rate of reproduction is quick
Cancer cells undergo angiogenesis, meaning that they?
form new blood vessels
Describe the layer of a cancer cell.
Multilayered and disorganized
Mutations allow telomeres to continue to lengthen, which allows for...
Cancer development
