Mitosis
Summing Up
Cell Division Cycle
1. Interphase
The first stage in which the cell grows, the DNA is made into two copies and more
2. Mitosis
The second stage in which the nucleus divides inside the cell.
3. Cytokinesis
The final stage in which the cell splits into two identical daughter cells.

How are cancer cells
different than
normal cells?
YOUR TASK
1. Your teacher will assign you the slides that follow, to analyze. Each group has a
unique slide with unique data set.
2. Each group will reflect on the questions, using the data provided.
3. Each group will share their analysis with the class.
4. Each group will then pull all the information together on the final slide to complete
the final slide.

● What specific aspect of cell data above did you find most surprising between normal cells and cancer cells?
● In your own words, give a brief description of this aspect you found surprising.
● Using the information you were given, how are cancer cells different from normal cells?
● Write 1 question that would help you better understand the differences between normal cells and cancer cells.

● Cancer Cells: These cells do not have the ability to self-destruct, which is mainly
because of the mutations that let the damage in the cells go undetected.

● Cancer Cells: These cells are usually dysfunctional. The numbers of white blood
cells increase exponentially in leukemia, but these cancerous white blood cells do
not function properly, if at all.

● In your own words, give a brief description of this aspect you found surprising.
● Using the information you were given, how are cancer cells different from normal cells?
● Write 1 question that would help you better understand the differences between normal cells and cancer
cells.

● Cancer Cells: These cells are the result of mutations in any of the growth or tumor
suppressors that help regulate the functioning of normal cells. These mutations
allow cancer cells to grow uncontrollably.

● Cancer Cells: Unlike normal cells, cancer cells don’t stop reproduction once
contacted by other cells and they continue to reproduce. This causes them to pile
up on top of each other forming a tumor.

cells and cancer cells?

YOUR DATA:
Claim (Remember your claim should answer the driving question on Slide 27 ):
Evidence that supports your claim from each of the data sets:
Reasoning: Use all data sets in your reasoning to provide clear understanding of how cancer cells differ from normal cells.
Final Analysis- Group 2: Pulling it all together
Let's identify the key characteristics of a cancer cell in order to determine what really makes cancer cells unique. To explain the key cancer characteristics, complete
the following CER using the analysis done by all the groups.
