Students will be able to describe and differentiate between the various phases of the cell cycle.
Students will understand the regulatory mechanisms that control the cell cycle, including checkpoints.
Students will understand the importance of cell division in growth, development, tissue repair and reproduction in both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
Students can predict their understanding of cell division and the cell cycle to explain phenomena such as cancer, genetic disorders, and evolutionary processes.
Here you can learn the Different phases of cell division and cell cycle and the related abnormalites which are causing different diseases in human beings.
Let's understand the task!
A patient has been diagnosed with cancer, and the oncologist is considering treatment options.
The tumor is rapidly growing, and the oncologist is concerned about the potential for metastasis.
The patient's medical history reveals a mutation in a tumor suppressor gene known to be involved in regulating the cell cycle.
How might this mutation impact the effectiveness of various treatment options, and what strategies could be employed to target the cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy cells?
