Question

Cancer cells are less likely than normal cells to undergo _______, or programmed cell death.

Answer 1

Answer: haploid

apoptosis

metaphase plate

Parthenogenesis

Meiosis

chiasma

Answers may vary. Meiosis results in four daughter cells, whereas mitosis produces only two daughter cells. Meiosis has two distinct phases, meiosis I and meiosis II, whereas mitosis takes place in a single cycle. Daughter cells in meiosis are genetically unique from one another. Mitotic daughter cells are genetically identical. Both mitosis and meiosis have similar basic steps (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). Both mitosis and meiosis have cell cycle regulation mechanisms, including checkpoints and cell cycle regulators, which allow them to consistently produce normal cells.

Answer 2

Cancer cells are less likely than normal cells to undergo _apoptosis______, or programmed cell death.

Apoptosis is synonymous to programmed cell death

Explanation:

Programed cells death of the cell is required to maintain proper tissue homeostasis. Examples of when apoptosis is necessary are when a cell may have errors in its DNA replication process. Apoptosis ensures the cell does not continue dividing and generating cells with the error. Other forms of damage to a cell that is hard to repair  also require that the cell undergo apoptosis.

In cancer cells, apoptosis pathway faulted and even when cells are required to undergo programmed cell death, such as in the case when lethal mutations occur, the cell continues to divide creating many cells that have the defect. This is what creates cancer tumors,
