Question 3

Answer 3

cell shrinks organelles break down, membrane blebbing, formation of apoptotic bodies, phagocytes engulf the apoptotic bodies

Question 4

proto-ocogenes

Answer 4

increases cell division, and reduce cell apopotsisi, cell death, cell can mutiply out of control in cancer

Question 5

anti- ocogenes

Answer 5

damage cells continue in cell cycle, prevents cell division, increases apoptosis, doesnt kill the harmful cells

Question 6

what is P53

Answer 6

protein that controls the g1 and g2 checkpoints, if this protein is damaged it can lead to uncontrolled cell division

Question 7

necrosis

Answer 7

STEPS: cell size increases, swelling of the cell, bursting inner contents swilling into its environment,
