Question Set: Mitotic Control
The cell cycle describes cell growth and division. This question set reviews concepts that are related to cell division (mitotic) control in animal cells. Regulatory proteins control the progression of cells through the cell cycle by regulating when cell division is stimulated and when it is inhibited. Loss of function of these regulatory proteins can contribute to the development of cancer. To learn more about how the cell cycle is controlled, visit the Factors That Control Mitotic Division in Eukaryotic Cells scrollable interactive.
