Chromatin vs. Chromatids?
What is the difference between chromatin and chromatids? Specifically, how do their structures and functions differ during the cell cycle?
Which factors determine whether a cell enters g0?
What factors influence whether a cell enters the G0 phase? Cancer cells divide uncontrollably, meaning their cell cycle continuously progresses without entering the G0 phase. In contrast, terminally...

Using the gas pedal analogy explain the impact on the cell cycle of one mutated tumor suppressor gene allele versus two mutated tumor
Using the gas pedal analogy, a proto-oncogene acts like an accelerator, as it promotes cell division and deregulates apoptosis. In contrast, a tumor suppressor gene functions like the brakes, as it re...
How would you know if two chromosomes were homologous
Interphase is a crucial and the longest phase of the cell cycle, during which the cell prepares for division by copying its DNA. This metabolic phase involves cell growth, nutrient acquisition, and me...
