Chapter 12 Discussion 1. How are the three subphases of interphase alike? How are they different? 2. What key event happens during the S phase? 3. Is binary fission the same as mitosis? Explain. 4. During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope disappears. Where does it go? 5. Imagine a cell that mutates and loses the function of its kinetochore proteins. What might this do to the cell and its descendents? 6. Can plants (such as African violets) complete cytokinesis by using a cleavage furrow? Explain. 7. Is mitosis the same thing as Cytokinesis? Explain. 8. Imagine another cell mutation. This one allows the cell to ignore anchorage dependency. Discuss what might be the results of this mutation? 9. Where in the cell cycle are the three main checkpoints? What must happen or what determines if the cell moves past each checkpoint? 10. Chemicals, such as colchicine from the Autumn Crocus plant, are known to disrupt spindle fibers. What affect will this have on a cell undergoing mitosis? What will be the result? 11. The enzyme that breaks down cyclin is on strike and refuses to work. What might be the result? Explain. 12. Small cuts that open blood vessels and bleed often heal faster than cuts that don’t bleed (e.g. paper cuts). Using your knowledge of factors that affect cell division, speculate on a possible mechanism for why this occurs. 13. Contrast and compare a benign tumor and a malignant tumor.
