The cell cycle is divided up into separate phases (S, G0, G1, M); each point of transition from one phase to another (a checkpoint) is governed by multiple proteins which serve as either "accelerators" or "brakes" for the cell cycle. These proteins are coded by chromosomes (DNA), and it is the mutation in the protein-specific DNA which creates either no protein, overactive protein, or underactive protein. IN any case, it creates a disruption to the cycle, which disturbs orderly cell growth and division. This can lead to cancer.

An orderly sequence of events that extends from the formation of a cell until the cell reproduces is called what?
This is known as the cell cycle.
What happens if the cell cycle is not controlled?
If cell division were not controlled, there would be unrestricted over growth of cells to form a shapeless mass of cells called a tumor. Uncontrolled cell growth is called cancer
Why is it unlikely for a cell that spends a large amount of time in G0 phase to be a tumor cell?
It is unlikely for a cell in the G0 Phase to become a tumor cell, because cells do not divide in the G0 Phase.
Regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo?
THE CELL CYCLE.
The sequence of growth and division of a cell make up the?
Cell Cycle
What can cause the cell cycle becomes uncontrolled?
When the cell cycle become uncontrolled, a tumor can form.
What can disrupt the cell cycle?
The growth of a cancerous tumor
An orderly sequence of events that extends from the formation of a cell until the cell reproduces is called what?
This is known as the cell cycle.
What occurs in the cell cycle in plants but not in animals?
formation of a cell plate
What is one possible consequence of mutation in a non-sex cell?
The formation of a tumor, which may or may not be cancerous.
What occurs during in the during the cell cycle in plants but not in animals?
formation of a cell plate
What are 1-tumor growth fraction 2- cell cycle time and 3- cell loss fraction and how these factors interact to determine the rate of growth of tumor and its potential for responding to chemotherapy?
the frowth fraction is •The proportion of cells in a tumor population that are actively proliferating.
The two types of cell cycle genes if mutated cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably are called tumor suppressor genes and?
The two types of cell cycle genes that cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably if mutated are called tumor suppressor genes and antioncogene
If the cell cycle is uncontrolled what will happen to the cell?
Ff a cell is uncontrolled means it will divide vigourously in abnormal manner and will cause tumor of cancer.
What are oncogenes and how do they affect the cell cycle?
The region of the viral genome (DNA in DNA tumor-viruses or RNA in RNA-tumor viruses) that can cause a tumor is called an oncogene. This foreign gene can be carried into a cell by the virus and cause the host cell to take on new properties such as immortalization and anchorage-independent growth.
What is Tumor cell?
What is a spindle cell tumor in the stomach?
What happens if the cell cycle is not controlled?
If cell division were not controlled, there would be unrestricted over growth of cells to form a shapeless mass of cells called a tumor. Uncontrolled cell growth is called cancer
