Q

In G0, but can be called back to cell cycle by external cues

A

Liver cells

19
Q

Highly specialized

Arrested in G0 and can never divide

A

Nerve cells

Muscle cells

20
Q

Cells temporarily or reversible stopped dividing and to have entered in a state of quiescence

A

G0 phase

21
Q

Cells that have permanently stopped dividing due toage or accumulated DNA damage are said to be senescent

A

G0 phase

22
Q

Failure of cell division control

Unrestrained, uncontrolled cell growth

A

Cancer

23
Q

What control is lost?

A

Lose checkpoint stops

P53

24
Q

Plays a key role in G1/S restriction point

A

Gene p53

25
Q

Halts dell division if it detects damaged DNA

A

P53 protein

26
Q

Options of p53 protein:

A

Stimutes repair enzymes to fix DNA
Forces cell into G0 resting stage
Keeps cell in G1 arrest
Causes apoptosis of damaged cell

27
Q

Cancer develops only after a cell experiences

A

~6 key mutations (“hits”)

28
Q

Development of cancel

A
Unlimited growth
Ignore checkpointa
Escape apoptosis
Immortality
Promotes blood cessel growth
Overcome anchor dependence

Q

Turn on blood vessel growth rates

A

Promote blood vessel growth

34
Q

Turn off touch-sensor gene

A

35
Q

The chromose are in an extendee form and seen as chromatin in the electron microscope
The nucleus is visible

A

Mitosis - Interphase

36
Q

A complex of DNA and proteins in the cell nucleus that condenses to form chromosomesduring cell division

A

Chromatin

37
Q

Condensed Chromatin

The same stuff but different form

A

Chromosomes

38
Q

Replicated to form an identical copy of itself during the cell cycle (before cell division)

A

Chromosomes

39
Q

Two identical copies of a chromosome

A

Sister chromatids

40
