LN #15Cancer & Cell Cycle
The Cell Cycle
• Interphase– Period of cell growth
and DNA replication
• Mitosis– Period of cell division
• Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• Cytokinesis– Cytoplasm is divided

What part of the cell cycle is it?
interphasecytokinesis metaphase
anaphaseprophase prophase
telophase
What controls the normal cell cycle?
• Enzymes– Some begin the cell
cycle– Others control the cell
cycle– Others control the
cycle at every phase
• What are enzymes?– A type of protein that
speeds up chemical reactions
Video Notes:
Abnormal Cell Cycle: Cancer
• Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells.
• Cancer cells can kill an organism by crowding out normal cells, resulting in the loss of tissue function.
What Causes Cancer?
• The changes that occur in the regulation of cell growth and division of cancer cells are due to mutations.
• Various environmental factors can affect the occurrence of cancer cells.
• Genetics• Problems with enzyme production
• Some Viruses• Environmental factors
• Cigarette smoke, • air and water pollution, • UV exposure
