Important Questions on Cell Division- Advantages and Limitation
What is the most important stage of mitosis?
How does the mitotic index indicate cancer?
Can a tumor grow overnight?
What is tumour growth rate?
Why are HeLa cells unique?
Do HeLa cells divide through mitosis?
What is telomere shortening?
What is the relationship between telomere length and aging?
How does telomerase contribute to cancer?
What is the function of Telomerase during DNA replication?
Why should cell division need to be controlled?
Mention one factor that limits the cell division.
The enzyme that lengthens the telomere is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase.
Two types of tumours are
Formula of mitotic index is
The rate of growth of a tumour can be assessed without delay by calculating
Which enzyme lengthens the telomere? (Telomerase/Topoisomerase)
The length of telomere remains unaffected with each cell division.
Telomeres are the sections of DNA at the middle of the chromosomes.
