Cell Cycle Problems Quiz
Preview:
abnormal cells with the ability to invade nearby tissue and migrate to other parts of the body. Also known as cancerous cells
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. cancer
proteins which regulate the functioning of other proteins
A. transmembrane proteins
B. regulatory proteins
C. integral proteins
D. functional proteins
agents that can cause mutations in DNA
A. carcinogens
B. mutagens
C. mutations
D. gene
genes responsible for repressing the growth and development of cells
A. regulatory genes
B. pro-oncogenes
C. oncogene
D. tumor suppressor genes
any cell that is not a reproductive cell (such as sperm and egg cells). Somatic cells are diploid (2n), meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes – one inherited from each parent
A. germline cell
B. somatic cell
C. terminally differentiated cell
D. gameotic cell
the migration of tumour cells from the primary tumour site to distant parts of the body
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. metastasis
a section of DNA that carries the code to make a protein
A. regulatory genes
B. pro-oncogenes
C. oncogene
D. genes
a tumour that lacks the ability to spread throughout other tissues and organs
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. cancer
a mass of abnormal cells
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. cancer
a mutated proto-oncogene that promotes rapid cell growth and replication
A. regulatory genes
B. pro-oncogenes
C. oncogene
D. tumor suppressor genes
changes in the DNA of an individual
A. carcinogens
B. mutagens
C. mutations
D. gene
genes responsible for promoting the growth and development of cells. These are precursors of oncogenes
A. regulatory genes
B. pro-oncogenes
C. oncogene
D. tumor suppressor genes
agents that can cause mutations in DNA leading to the development of cancer
