    Centromere
    Centriole
    Chromatid
    Chromosome
  • During mitosis, the original cell divides into two new daughter cells. If the cell has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are found in each of the daughter cells?
    46
    92
    12
    23
  • During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes uncoil as the nuclear membrane forms in 2 new cells
    Metaphase
    Prophase
    Telophase
    Anaphase
  • Sister chromatids are attached to each other at an area called the
    Centriole
    Centromere
    Spindle fiber
    Chromosome
  • What is the relationship between the p53 gene (tumor suppressor gene) and cancer?
    Mutations in the p53 gene cause cancer
    The p53 gene prevents mitosis from happening
    If a person has a p53 gene, then they will have cancer
    The p53 gene only deals with tumors, not cancer
  • Starting at the beginning of interphase, what is the correct order of the 4 phases of the cell cycle?

    DNA replication
    Meiosis
  • How is the p53 gene important to our survival?
    The p53 gene helps us prevent the development of cancer

    Metaphase
    Telophase
    Prophase
    Interphase
  • What can cause cancer?
    Mutagens like tobacco and UV rays can mutate DNA and cause uncontrollable cell division
