What term describes the normal part of cell development where the cell no longer divides in the cell cycle and chooses to undergo natural cell death?

apoptosis


What is the definition of apoptosis?

noun: apoptosisThe death of cells that occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.


What structure within a cell is most likely to play a major role in the development of generations of cancer cells?

The nucleus of a cell is most likely to play a major role in the development of generations of cancer cells. Within the nucleus, genetic mutations can occur that lead to uncontrolled cell growth and division, which are hallmarks of cancer. These mutations can disrupt the normal function of genes involved in regulating cell cycle, DNA repair, and cell death pathways, contributing to the development and progression of cancer.


What phase in a cell cycle does mitosis happen?

Normal cell activities occur not in mitosis, but in a cell cycle in a general. This part of cell cycle is called interphase. Mitosis starts when the cell starts dividing, not when a cell is carrying out normal function.


What disease has the programmed cell death gene been linked to?

Programmed cell death is a normal, and vital part of the cell cycle. There are a number of genes involved in programmed cell death, or apoptosis. If key genes involved in this process are mutated, you can get diseases like cancer - which arises from misregulation of the cell cycle, as well as a huge range of other possible mutations.

Do organisms use apoptosis?

Yes, organisms use apoptosis, a controlled process of cell death, to maintain cell balance and eliminate damaged, old, or harmful cells. Apoptosis is crucial for normal development, tissue homeostasis, and immune responses.

Is abnormal tissue development called hyperplasia?

No, abnormal tissue development is typically referred to as dysplasia. Hyperplasia is the increase in the cell number of a tissue, which can be a normal physiological response or a part of a pre-cancerous change. Dysplasia, on the other hand, refers to the abnormal growth and development of cells within a tissue.
