Question

how are mitosis and cancer related?

Answer 1

Mitosis is closely controlled by the genes inside every cell. Sometimes this control can go wrong. If that happens in just a single cell, it can replicate itself to make new cells that are also out of control. These are cancer cells.

Answer 2

Explain the G0 stage. What cells in our bodies are likely to be in G0 ?

Answer 3

G0 phase is viewed as either an extended G1 phase, where the cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide, or a distinct quiescent stage that occurs outside of the cell cycle. Some types of cells, such as nerve and heart muscle cells, become quiescent when they reach maturity.

Answer 4

What limits how large a cell can get?

Answer 5

Cells cannot grow to be really big because as the cell grows, so does the surface area. If a cell's surface area is to large, then it makes transporting nutrients and other things harder across a cell. So the cell can only grow to a certain size because if it gets too large, it can no longer support itself.

Answer 6

how will the rate of cell division differ between single-celled algae living in a sunny, nutrient rich pond, versus algae in a shady, nutrient poor pond?

Answer 7

Algae thrives in nutrient-rich, well-lit environments, so cell division would occur much more rapidly in the sunny, nutrient-rich pond.

Answer 8

what would happen if a cell underwent mitosis without going through cytokinesis?

Answer 9

The cell would have 2 nuclei but its cytoplasm wouldn't divide. So 2 daughter cells aren't formed.

Answer 10

why does the nuclei come into play at this point?
