A cancer is called a sarcoma- from what type of cell did it arise?
Responda
  • Muscle
  • Skin
  • Connective

Questão 10

Questão
Leukaemia's are unusual proliferations of what type of cell?
Responda
  • Blood
  • Liver
  • Kidney

Questão 11

Questão
What differentiates a normal mole from a potential melanoma?
Responda
  • Moles are contained by capsules
  • Moles are smaller than melanomas
  • Moles have a regular/symmetrical shape

Questão 12

Questão
When do normal cells cease to divide?
Responda
  • When they have terminally differentiated
  • When subject to stress/DNA damage

Questão 13

Questão
Telomere's are shortened every time the cell replicates- what is this thought to contribute to?
Responda
  • The Hayflick limit
  • Cancer cell formation
  • Cell immortality

Questão 14

Questão
How are cancer cells thought to evade the Hayflick limit?
Responda
  • Use of telomerase to extend telomeres
  • Use of telomeric synthase to extend telomeres
  • Use of telomere synthase to extend telomeres

Questão 15

Questão
The condition or process of deterioration with age- what is this defining?
Responda
  • Mortality
  • Tumergic emergence
  • Senescence

Questão 16

Questão
The occurence of cancer rises steeply as people..
Responda
  • Age
  • Gain weight
  • Become less self sufficient

Questão 17

Questão
What is considered (usually) to be the first mutation in a tumor forming cell
Responda
  • Increased cell proliferation
  • Survival in low O2 environments
  • Production of cytotoxic chemicals

Questão 18

Questão
What is an essential requirement for tumor cell formation
Responda
  • Genetic instability
  • No seriously, otherwise they just stay normal cells
  • And don't mutate further
  • It's kinda obvious, if you think about it

Questão 19

Questão
Can a cell become too unstable genetically to survive?
Responda
  • Yes
  • No

Questão 20

Questão
What is the difference between carcino and mutagenesis?
Responda
  • Carcinogenesis- generation of cancer Mutatgenesis- Change in DNA sequence
  • Carcinogenesis- Generation of cancer Mutatgenesis- Change in DNA sequence caused by a carcinogen

Questão 21

Questão
Why is Nitroform a direct carcinogen?
Responda
  • It can damage DNA in it's present form (needn't be altered by metabolism)
  • Can cause the immediate appearance of tumergic cells
  • Can cause the appearence of more than one mutation at once

Questão 22

Questão
Why is Aflatoxin not a direct carcinogen?
Responda
  • It must be metabollically altered before binding to Guanine in DNA
  • It must bind to other chemicals before binding to Guanine in DNA
  • It must be imported directly into the nucleus before binding to Guanine in DNA

Questão 23

Questão
What is the AMES test used for?
Responda
  • To detect mutagenic properties
  • To detect mutated cells

Questão 24

Questão
Name the three components of the AMES test
Responda
  • Possible mutagen
  • Possible carcinogen
  • Histadine dependent salmonella
  • Lysine dependent salmonella
  • Homogenised liver extract
  • Homogenised stomach extract

Questão 25

Questão
The cells in an AMES test are placed on an Agar plate lacking what?
Responda
  • Histadine
  • Lysine
  • Guanine

Questão 26

Questão
Tumor promoters act synergystically with what?
Responda
  • Carcinogens
  • Cell proliferation
  • Mutagens

Questão 27

Questão
Do tumor promoters directly alter DNA?
Responda
  • Yes
  • No

Questão 28

Questão
In tests, which had to be added first to promote tumor growth?
Responda
  • The initiator- which causes DNA damage
  • The promoter- which causes cell proliferation
  • Either- it doesn't matter

Questão 29

Questão
What happens when, after the initiator is added, the promoter is added slowly?
Responda
  • No tumor forms
  • A tumor forms

Questão 30

Questão
Why is rapid cell proliferation required after mutation?
Responda
  • It reactivates genes potentially silenced by initiator damage
  • Forces the expression of damaged genes
  • Because it does

Questão 31

Questão

Responda
  • Basic Bodily functions i.e the production of O2 radicals
  • Smoking
  • Environment
  • Diet
  • Reproductive life
  • Disease
