Standard(s) MC.2.B.8

Quantitative 1260 Register: Vocabulary is mostly common but higher level. Technical vocabulary is mostly basic with sufficient context clues.

Qualitative Structure: Sentences are fairly simple and short. Paragraphs and new topics are offset by subheadings.

How does the author define cancer?

What are the "deterrents to optimal cell cycle progression" mentioned in the text?

In which phase of the cell cycle are cancer cells likely to form? Text Dependent External stimuli cause cells to do Questions what? What do you think is an example of an external ?

According to the article, why can faulty DNA be passed from one generation to the next even though the body sends "stop signals"?
