Study for Test
Cytoxan
Stops S-Phase
Taxol
Inhibits spindle fibers in Prophase
Benign
Tumor type: Remains in one place
Malignant
Tumor type: Cells break away from tumor cite and spread, metastasis
Chemotherapy
Drugs used to stop cancer development, includes Taxol and Cytoxan
External Regulators
Growth factors that limit growth of the cell, speed up or slow down.
Internal Regulators
Causes Cancer, stuff won’t happen unless other stuff happens.
What happens in the G1 Phase?
Cell Growth
What happens in the G0 Phase?
Cells that don’t divide
What happens in the S Phase?
DNA replication
What happens in the G2 Phase?
Preparation for division
Interphase
The time where the cell spends most of its time.
Prophase
Start of Mitosis, chromatin condenses
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase
Sister Chromatids seperate into chromosomes
