Modified True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. If false, change the underlined word or phrase to make the statement
true.

chromosome.

Figure 10–2
chromatids in the G2 phase.
24. Which type of reproduction, sexual or asexual, is best suited for organisms that live in a place where
environmental conditions are stable? Explain.
25. The level of cyclins in a cell increases during the M phase of the cell cycle. What might happen to a cell if no
cyclins were present during the M phase?
Using Science Skills
Use the diagram below to answer the following
questions on the lines provided.
Figure 10–4
26. Interpret Visuals Look at Figure 10–4. Which diagram shows cancer cells? How do you know?
27. Compare and Contrast Explain how cancer cells are different from normal cells. Then, relate these
characteristics to the diagram in Figure 10–4 that shows cancer cells.
28. Predict Look at the cancer cells shown in Figure 10–4. What can happen if these cells are left untreated?
30. Problem Solving How might the cancer cells shown in Figure 10–4 be prevented from doing more harm to the
organism they are a part of?
31. Relate ratio of surface area to volume to cell growth and cell division.
32. List and describe the main events of the cell cycle (Interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis). Illustrate your description
with a diagram of a cell with four chromosomes going through the cell cycle.
33. Discuss the relationship between mitosis and cytokinesis. What would be the result if one happened without the
other?
