cancer

Question 1

growth signals

Answer 1

external signals that tell the cell to grow

Question 2

contact inhibition

Answer 2

cells won’t divide when they are touching each other

Question 3

anchorage dependence

Answer 3

cells won’t divide if they’re not on a stable surface

Question 4

mutations

Answer 4

any change in the DNA

genes that prevents cell division

Question 9

tumor

Answer 9

A mass of cancer cells

Question 10

angiogenesis

Answer 10

recruitment of blood vessels to a tumor

Question 11

apoptosis

Answer 11

programmed cell death

Question 12

metastasis

Answer 12

The spread of cancer cells to additional sites in the body

Question 13

Question 19

four ways how cancer grows and spreads

Answer 19

tumor, angiogenesis, apoptosis, metastasis

Question 20

cell cycle control

Answer 20

checkpoints is in the cell cycle -can stop the cell from doing cell division
