Answer
  • a cut in the skin
  • contact with other cells
  • growth factors
  • injection of cyclin

Question 2

Question
In eukaryotic cells, the timing of the cell cycle is regulated by

Question 3

Question
Cyclins are a family of closely related proteins that

  • cyclins
  • growth factors
  • mitotic spindles

Question 5

Question
Cancer is a disorder in which some cells have lost the ability to control their
Answer
  • surface area
  • size
  • spindle fibers
  • growth rate

Question 6

Question
Cancer cells form masses of cells called
Answer
  • tumors
  • cyclins
  • growth factors
  • p53

Question 7

Question
A cell with a defective p53 gene is likely to
Answer
  • generate hormones that combat tumors.
  • stop responding to growth regulators.
  • produce cells without a defective p53 gene.

Question 8

Question
During early development, all cells in the embryo of a multicellular organism are identical. Later on in development, the cells will become specialized through a process called
