If a starfish sustains damage to a limb, it often grows a new one. If a human adult sustains damage to his or her spinal cord, mobility is often impaired. If a gecko loses its tail, it may grow a new one. Which type of cell is less likely to go through the cell cycle after being damaged— starfish limb, human spinal cord, or gecko tail? Support your answer.

If a starfish sustains damage to an arm, it often grows a new one, as long as part of the central disc is still attached (known as regeneration). If a gecko loses its tail, it may regenerate a new one. If a person damages their spinal cord, mobility is often impaired. Which type of cell is less likely to go through the cell cycle after being damaged— starfish arm, gecko tail or human spinal cord? Explain in terms of the cell cycle.
Cancer, the uncontrolled growth of cells, often results in a tumor, or mass of abnormal cells. Some cancerous tumors consist of many cells that are much smaller than normal. According to Figure 1, what part of the cell cycle is most likely being affected? Explain.
Which type of cell do you think would spend more of their life cycle undergoing mitosis, skin or brain? Explain your reasoning.
Which of the following is mismatched? M stage - mitosis and cytokinesis G 2 stage - metabolic preparation for mitosis interphase - shortest stage of the cell cycle G 1 stage - cell grows in size and cell organelles increase in number S stage - DNA synthesis
Chemotherapy utilizes chemicals to interrupt various parts of the cell cycle, targeting rapidly growing cells. Taxol® is an example of a drug that prevents mitosis phase from occurring. How this Taxol useful as a cancer treatment and how might targeting rapidly growing cells explain common chemotherapy side effects such as hair loss and nausea? A. Taxol will stop the tumor from growing, but unfortunately it also impacts other fast-growing cells (like hair follicles and stomach lining cells), so normal cells get damaged as well. B. Taxol will stop the tumor from continuing to divide, but unfortunately it also impacts other readily dividing cells (like hair follicles and stomach lining cells), so normal cells get damaged as well. C. Taxol will stop the tumor from copying DNA, but unfortunately it also impacts DNA replication in other cells (like hair follicles and stomach lining cells), so normal cells don't get to continue through…

What would be the outcome if a cell completed mitosis but did not undergo cytokinesis? Group of answer choices The cell would have 92 chromosomes. The cell would have 23 chromosomes. The cell would have two nuclei. There would be two cells. The cell would have 46 chromosomes.
Suppose a cell with 6 chromosomes undergoes mitosis but not cytokinesis. Please draw a picture of the resulting cells.
