Document Summary

Cell cycle control and cancer: failure to control the cell cycle can lead to cancer i. e. excessive cell division and potentially the invasion of other tissues and death of the organisms. Understand that the cell cycle is regulated by internal and external signals and that there are checkpoints within the cycle, control points where stop and go-ahead signals can regulate the cycle. Asexual reproduction: cell division in single cell organisms or somatic cells, binary fission (bacteria, mitosis and cytokinesis (somatic cells or non reproductive cells, this is clonal, producing identical cells (clones) Bacterial reproduction: many bacteria can reproduce by binary fission every 20 minutes, growth is only limited by availability of nutrients, at 2hr45min there are 256 bacteria. If a single bacterium was allowed to grow under optimal conditions for 48 hours, 1043 cells would be produced with a combined mass 1000x greater than the earth.
