The ell ycles Practice Test nswer Section MULTIPLE HOIE 1. NS: ancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. No, the number of cells is going down. id you consider all the factors? PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 254 NT: LS_1d TOP: 9-7 2. NS: When unchecked, cancer cells can kill an organism by crowding out normal cells, resulting in loss of tissue function. Look at the graph again. See page 254 for help. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level E REF: 254 NT: LS_1d TOP: 9-7 3. NS: If a cell continues to grow, the ratio of surface area to volume will decrease. This means the cell will have difficulty supplying nutrients and expelling enough waste products. iffusion across the cell membrane will not be affected. id you consider all the factors? See page 245 for help. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 245 NT: LS_1d ST: II.1.3 TOP: 9-1 4. NS: Synthesis refers to the synthesis of N during this phase. This is not what is being made. It refers to something being made.
Review the material on page 247. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 247 NT: LS_1d ST: III.1.1 TOP: 9-3 5. NS: uring metaphase, the spindle apparatus aligns the sister chromatids in the center, or equator, of the cell. See page 250 for help. Look at what the chromosomes are doing. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 250 NT: LS_1d ST: III.1.1 TOP: 9-4 6. NS: uring mitosis, the cell s replicated genetic material separates and the cell prepares to divide into two cells. id you consider all the factors? Too low. This would occur in meiosis. That's too many. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 248 NT: LS_1d ST: III.1.1 TOP: 9-4 7. NS: The normal cell cycle is regulated by cyclin proteins. Good try. See page 253 for help. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 253 NT: LS_1d ST: III.1.1 TOP: 9-6 8. NS: ancer can have diverse causes, all of which result in mutation in a cell s N. This will just kill a cell. This doesn't cause cancer. That's right! Have a look at page 254. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 254 NT: LS_1d TOP: 9-7 9. NS:
In this stage, the chromosomes are condensing and the spindle is beginning to form. Therefore, this stage is prophase. The one to follow it is metaphase. That's a later stage. This cell is currently in prophase. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 248 250 NT: LS_1d ST: III.1.1 TOP: 9-4 10. NS: Mitosis is the division of the nucleus. Without cytokinesis, or cell division, mitosis alone will lead to a multinucleate cell. This occurs in many organisms, especially fungi. ytokinesis is what produces the daughter cells. The chromosome numbers would not decrease. That's right! ancer is a result of uncontrolled cell division; in this case division is not occurring. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level F REF: 246 NT: LS_1d ST: III.1.1 TOP: 9-2 11. NS: The normal growth of the cell occurs in Gap 1 before the chromosomes are replicated. This is after synthesis, does that make sense? The cell is busy replicating N during this period. Have a look at page 247. PTS: 1 IF: loom's Level REF: 247 NT: LS_1d ST: III.1.1 TOP: 9-2 12. NS: stem cell s usefulness lies in the fact that it is unspecialized and therefore has the potential to develop into cells of different kinds that might be used to repair damaged tissue. Many cells undergo mitosis; this is not their usefulness. That's right! They are not especially similar to cancer cells. This is not their usefulness.
