SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Shown here are two He La cancer cells that are just completing cytokinesis. Explain how the cell division of cancer cells like these is misregulated. What genetic and other changes might have caused these cells to escape normal cell cycle regulation?

Hi, can you explain this concept: cell cycle progression can be halted at several points by the tumor suppressor gene product p53, activated in response to checkpoints sensing DNA and possibly also chromosome damage; loss of p53 would remove this brake to cycling. How these events can lead to cancer progression?

- Choose all of the TRUE statements. Hint: 4 statements are true. Cytokinesis occurs the same way in both plant and animal cells. Sister chromatids are genetically identical. The term chromosome can be used to describe both chromosomes composed of one and two chromatids. Mitosis results in daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. All eukaryotic somatic cells are diploid. Cyclin dependent kinases are present but not active in cell cycle regulation without the presence of cyclin proteins. Chromosomes are always visible in the cell.arrow_forward8. Molecules outside and inside the cell regulate the cellcycle, making it start or stop.a.
