CELL NUCLEUS, CELL CYCLE AND CANCER

CELL NUCLEUS


Cell Nucleus structure (Interphase)

Image result for cell nucleus


Chromatin is a complex of DNA and protein found in eukaryotic cells during interphase.[1] 

Chromatin is packed when cells undergo cell division.





How Chromatin is converted into Chromosomes? You will find the answer in the following video



Cell Nucleus (Mitosis)




CELL CYCLE

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication) that produces two daughter cells



The cell cycle phases explained....



TO UNDERSTAND HOW CELL DIVIDES, A PROCESS CALLE MITOSIS, USE THIS INTERACTIVE RESOURCE.




Cancer has a close relationship with cell cycle. 

BUT, JUST BEFORE EXPLORING THE BIOLOGY OF CANCER... 
LET'S CHECK YOUR PRE-CONCEPTIONS ABOUT CANCER
COMPLETE THIS FORM

THEN OPEN THIS PRESENTATION SEE IF YOU WERE RIGHT OR WRONG


In order to understand what is cancer at a cellular level, watch the next Ted-Ed video.




Now check your knowledge about cancer by doing this activities

The next video dig deeper into cancer physiology.


Now that you have a better understanding about cancer biology, you will be able to understand this important question:
