Apply the Key terms to fill in the blanks to demonstrate knowledge of cancer development.
Key terms:
o Cell cycle
O Regulator
O Proteins
O Mutated
o Unrepaired
Read the passage to fill in the blanks
The steps that lead to a cell becoming cancerous occur when one of the genes that
produce
proteins becomes
and produces a
malformed, possibly non-functional,
regulator protein. This
increases the chance that more mutations will be left,
in the cell.
Each subsequent generation of cells sustains more damage. The cell cycle can speed up
as a result of loss of functional checkpoint
The cells can lose the
ability to self-destruct and continue to divide resulting in cancer development.
