Why cell division?
A.Necessary for the __________ of organisms.
B.Necessary for every cell in organism to have the ___________ instructions to survive.
C.Genetic instructions passed through __________ in _______________.
DNA.
A. Cell reproduction begins with _______.
B. DNA is a long, thin molecule stores _________ information!
C. Found in _____________ of eukaryotic cells.
What are chromosomes
A.Rod-shaped structures of coiled ________ and ___________.
B.____________: proteins in chromosomes that help DNA form its double helix shape.
C.____________: proteins that control activities of DNA
I.
Chromosome Structure a. ______________ – condensed DNA that can be found in the nucleus of the cell during cell division – visible! i. Remember, Chromatin is uncondensed DNA and cannot be seen. b. The DNA in a chromosome can be found wrapped around proteins known as _______________ c. Chromosomes have two halves known as ______________________. d. The ________________________ holds the two halves of the chromosome together. e. Sex Chromosomes – Chromosomes that determine the sex of an organism i. In humans, the sex chromosomes are ______________________ 1. Women have two X chromosomes 2. Men have an X chromosome and a Y chromosome f. _________________________ – any non-­‐sex chromosome i. __________________________________________ – the two copies of each autosome g. __________________________ – a photo of the homologous chromosomes found in humans h. ______________________ – Have both sets of homologous chromosomes i. Each chromosome has a pair ii. In humans this means ________chromosomes i. ______________________ – have just one set of homologous chromosomes i. Each chromosome doesn’t have it’s pair ii. In humans this means ________ chromosomes The Cell Cycle and Cancer:
A.Cell division occurs during the ___________________
B.It is the repeating set of events that make up the life cycle of a cell.
C.Divided into __________ phases:
1._____________: time between cell divisions
2.Cell Division: consists of two stages
a._______________: division of nucleus.
b._______________: division of cytoplasm of the cell.
Stages of Interphase
1. G Phase: _____________________.
1
2. S Phase: ____________________.
3. G Phase: growth and ________________ for cell division (organelles develop)

***G Phase: used by some cells to exit cell cycle; usually occurs after G Phase; examples include mature
nerve cells.

CANCER
Cancer is a disease of the ____________. Some of the body’s cells divide uncontrollably and
_______________ form.
Some Tumors are cancer others are not
___________________
¨Cells in a tissue overgrow
¨Resulting defined mass: ________________ (neoplasm)
-________________, e.g., moles
1. _________ growth
2. Expands in the same tissue; does ________ spread
3. Cells look nearly normal
-________________
1. ___________ growth
2. Invades surrounding tissue and ________________(becomes cancerous)
3. Cell differentiation usually poor
Cancer cells do not divide normally
¨Cancer cells don’t necessarily divide faster than normal cells; more cancer cells are
___________________ than dying
¨Cancer cells do not respond to _____________; loss of ____________ inhibition
1. Leads to a disorganized mass; cells may have extensions
2. ___________: makes a cancer malignant
Cancer usually involves several genes
¨______________________
-In ________________ cells
-Code for proteins involved in the ____________ of cell division
-If altered, may form ____________
-_____________, do not cause malignant cancer
-Require other mutations, including one in a tumor suppressor gene
¨_______________________
-_________ cell growth and _________; __________ cancer formation
-May prevent expression of ____________________
-p53: codes for a regulatory protein that turns off cell division when the cell is stressed or
damaged
1. If mutated, runaway ____________________
2. More than _________ of cancers has a mutated or missing p53 gene
