Exam 6: Cell Division

Match the event or stage of mitosis with the appropriate description. -The sister chromatids separate and become individual chromosomes that begin to move toward the poles of the cell.

When tumor cells become anchorage independent and begin to invade other tissues,they are considered to be transformed into cancer cells,also known as ________.

What would happen to a cell if the cell cycle regulatory proteins overregulated in G₁ even in the absence of any DNA damage and with plenty of nutrients available? Could this phenomenon possibly be used to treat cancer? Explain.

What are the stages of interphase?
