cleavage furrow and divide the cell membrane to form two new daughter cells.
As DNA loops around histones, it coils the DNA into a bead-like structure called a nucleosome and allows the
DNA to fit into a smaller space. In this way the approximately six linear feet of DNA can fit into the nucleus of a
cell.
Contact inhibition stops the cell cycle when cells are surrounded by other cells. Cancer cells lose contact
inhibition and continue to divide, even when totally surrounded by normal cells. When a proto-oncogene
mutates it can become a cancer-causing gene.

In a normal cell, the cell cycle is regulated by a balance between proto-oncogenes, which promote cell division, and
tumor suppressor genes, which inhibit cell division. Cancer may occur when this balance is disturbed.
Tumor suppressor gene products inhibit the cell cycle, so lifting the inhibition through loss of a tumor
suppressor would render the cell unable to stop the cell cycle even when it is receiving signals to stop or
to undergo apoptosis.
A tumor suppressor normally inhibits the cell cycle, and an increase of function mutation would not affect this
activity. Cell division would still be repressed, and so cancer (uncontrolled cell division) would be very unlikely
to result.
In both cell types, the cells must continue to divide. This means that the telomeres do not shorten. The
shortening of telomeres causes senescence, meaning that the cells become "old" and stop dividing. If
telomerase is inactive, telomeres will not shorten.

Many translocations do not affect gene expression or the cell cycle. These chromosomal rearrangements
would not necessarily cause cancer. But if translocations move proto-oncogenes to another chromosome
where gene expression is altered, or to where the proto-oncogene is fused to another gene, cancer may result.
A. RB is inactive.
B. a cell is undergoing apoptosis.
C. proto-oncogenes have not yet mutated.
D. a cell is probably cancerous.
E. tumor suppressors are active.
Telomerase is active in embryonic cells and some stem cells, but not adult cells. Active telomerase in an
adult cell may indicate that it has become cancerous.
A. BRCA1
B. RB
C. RET
D. RAS
E. DScam
The DScam gene acts as a cell identification protein for neurons, and does not affect the cell cycle.
A. every cell in the woman's body has a copy of the mutant BRCA1 allele.
B. she still has one normal allele of the BRCA1 gene that can make up for the loss of function in the mutant
allele.
C. some of the cells in her body are already cancerous, meaning that no further mutations are needed for a
tumor to form.
D. the normal BRCA1 allele is more likely to mutate than in an individual without a mutant BRCA1 allele.
E. a mutation in her normal BRCA1 allele may lead to cancer, whereas a normal individual would have to
acquire two mutations (one in each allele) to develop cancer.
The woman with the mutant BRCA1 allele has already accumulated one harmful mutation; a second mutation in
this woman that affects the other BRCA1 allele is more likely to occur than two mutations, one in each copy of
the BRCA1 gene, in a normal individual.
A. a gain of function mutation in an oncogene need only occur in one allele before it disrupts control of the
cell cycle.
B. a loss of function mutation in an oncogene is sufficient to cause unregulated cell division.
C. the mutant oncogene may inactivate telomerase.
D. a gain of function mutation in a tumor suppressor gene can promote the cell cycle.
E. a gain of function mutation in an oncogene is more likely to cause the other allele to mutate.

Gain of function mutations in tumor suppressor genes causes cells to not divide even when growth factors are
present, so cancer is unlikely to result. A loss of function mutation in a proto-oncogene would cause a similar
phenotype. But a gain of function mutation, even if only in one allele, may cause cancer because the protein
from the mutant allele can activate the cell cycle even as the protein from the normal allele is controlled
correctly.
Angiogenesis (angio, a vessel; and geno, to give birth) is the growth of new blood vessels. Angiogenesis is
necessary for a tumor to grow beyond a certain size.
A. oncogene.
B. proto-oncogene.
C. tumor suppressor.
D. mutant tumor suppressor.
E. signal transduction pathway protein.
Tumor suppressor proteins are generally defined as those that inhibit the cell cycle and/or promote apoptosis.
Mutation of these proteins can lead to cancer because cells that are stimulated to undergo apoptosis will not
respond to the signals and keep dividing.
A. mitosis
B. mutations
C. metastasis
D. apoptosis
E. angiogenesis
An additional mutation in a tumor cell that allows it to express proteinase can cause metastasis because it
allows the cell to break down the underlying tissue and spread to other areas.
TRUE
Adult stem cells persist through an individual's lifetime and are used to produce new blood cells, skin cells, and
other cell types that must be frequently replaced.

Learning Outcome: 08.04.02 Explain the role of telomerase in stem cells and cancer cells.
Section: 08.04
Topic: Cell Cycle
65. Cancer will occur if one copy of a mutant tumor suppressor gene is inherited.
FALSE
Mutant tumor suppressor genes, such as mutant alleles of RB, are often considered recessive because they
are loss of function mutations. The normal copy will often suffice, but the predisposition to develop cancer is
increased because only one mutation is needed to eliminate the function of the one normal copy, whereas a
normal individual must accumulate mutations in both copies for the risk of cancer to increase.
FALSE
Proto-oncogenes function by stimulating the cell cycle, but only when the appropriate signals and
growth factors are present.
FALSE
While telomerase prevents shortening of telomeres, and telomeres generally maintain chromosomal stability, it
is usually only activated once a cell has started dividing wildly. It is usually mutations in tumor suppressor
genes that lead to chromosomal instability because some tumor suppressors monitor DNA damage and stop
the cell cycle until the damage can be repaired. When proteins from tumor suppressor genes fail, DNA damage
is not repaired prior to cell division.
A. histone
B. nucleosome
C. actin
D. chromatid
E. myosin
Chromatin is periodically wound around a core of eight protein molecules, so that it looks like beads on a string.
The protein molecules are histones, and each bead is called a nucleosome.
A. chromosome

A duplicated chromosome is composed of two identical halves, called sister chromatids, held together at a
constricted region called a centromere.
A. interphase: S
B. interphase: G1
C. interphase: G2

B. radiation
C. chemotherapy
D. hormonal therapy
E. drug therapy
Cancer treatments either remove the tumor or interfere with the cancer cells’ ability to reproduce. For many
solid tumors, removal by surgery is often the first line of treatment. When the cancer is detected at an early
stage, surgery may be sufficient to cure the patient by removing all cancerous cells.
TRUE
When the chromosomes of cancer cells become unstable, portions of the DNA double helix may be lost,
duplicated, or scrambled. For example, a portion of a chromosome may break off and reattach to
another chromosome. These events, called translocations, may lead to cancer, especially if it disrupts
genes that regulate the cell cycle.
A. chemotherapy
B. surgery
C. hormonal therapy
D. drug therapy
E. All of these can lead to nausea and hair loss.
Unfortunately, radiation and chemotherapy often damage cells other than cancer cells, leading to side effects
such as nausea and hair loss.
A. translocation.
B. telomerase.
C. apoptosis event.
D. suppressor event.
E. jumping gene.

Cigarette smoking accounts for about 30% of all cancer deaths. Smoking is responsible for 90% of lung
cancer cases among men and 80% among women. People who smoke two or more packs of cigarettes a day
have lung cancer mortality rates 15 to 25 times greater than those of nonsmokers.
TRUE
The risk of cancer is up to 40% higher for some forms of cancer among obese men and women compared
with people of normal weight. Thus, weight loss in these groups can reduce cancer risk.

The rope untied, he scrambled into the boat.
Ralph would probably have gone with him, but Ellen began to cry
and repeated that she knew their mother wouldn’t like it, and so he
stayed with her.
To his relief, Sunny Boy found that he would not need the oars
which were in the bottom of the boat, for the tide was carrying his
boat just as it had carried out The Billow. The oars were so heavy
that Sunny Boy never could have handled them.
“I’ll catch it in a minute,” Sunny Boy told himself, as his boat drifted
gently along, “then Ellen will be sorry she was such a cry-baby.”
But he didn’t catch The Billow in a minute. That dancing little boat
sailed on out of sight and Sunny Boy’s boat moved evenly along till
presently he couldn’t see any land at all. He began to wonder how
he was going to get back
“Where’s Sunny Boy?” asked Mrs. Horton when lunch time came.
“Won’t he be surprised to find you here, Daddy?”
“Where’s Sunny Boy?” asked Mr. Horton, who had come down on
an earlier train than usual.
Half an hour passed, an hour. Still no Sunny Boy.
“I’m worried!” Mrs. Horton paced up and down the porch
nervously. “I know he hasn’t run away again. Oh, Daddy, where can
he be?”
“There are the Gray children,” said Aunt Bessie. “Sunny Boy was
sailing boats with them this morning. Call them over and ask them.”
“Sunny Boy?” repeated Ellen when Mrs. Horton asked her. “Oh,
his boat got untied, and Sunny took a big boat and went after it. An’
he didn’t ask the man who owned it or nothin’. I wouldn’t let Ralph
go, ’cause my mother says rowboats are dangerous.”
Mrs. Horton turned very white.
“There, there, Olive,” said her husband. “It is a beautiful calm day,
and he will be all right. We’ll get Captain Franklin to take us in his
motor-boat, and we ought to pick him up without much trouble. He
can’t have drifted very far.”
“Why didn’t you come and tell us?” asked Mrs. Horton, catching up
a sweater and running down the steps after her husband. “Ellen
dear, what could you have been thinking of not to let us know?”
“I thought Sunny Boy would be back,” said Ellen. “He said it
wouldn’t take him but just a minute.”
Captain Franklin was an old sea captain with a wrinkled kind
brown face and keen blue eyes.
“Sure we’ll find him, ma’am,” he assured Mrs. Horton, when he
had heard the story of the lost Sunny Boy. “Just let me put some
fresh water on board and see if the cracker box is full, an’ we’ll start
right out. Never go out, if it’s only across the bay, without fresh water.
You never know when you’ll need it. And the little feller will be mighty
thirsty when we do find him.”
“Better get a tube of cold cream,” Mr. Horton advised his wife. “The
glare on the water will bum Sunny Boy even if he is tanned. You can
get some in that little shop there.”
Mrs. Horton bought some cold cream in the little shop where
fishing supplies were sold, and as soon as Captain Franklin had
filled his water kegs they set out.
“Chug-chug-chug!” sang the motor-boat engine cheerily. “We’re
going to find Sunny Boy. Chug-chug-chug!”
And what was Sunny Boy doing all this time, alone in his boat and
so far out on the big ocean?
When he found that he couldn’t see the land and that The Billow
had disappeared, Sunny Boy was puzzled.
“Where did it go?” he asked. “I was looking right at it, an’ now it’s
gone. Maybe I’d better turn my boat around.”
But he could not turn the boat around. Indeed, it seemed that that
rowboat intended to do exactly as it pleased. And it wanted to go
right on, sailing out to sea.
“Maybe we’ll come to China,” thought Sunny Boy, not knowing
very clearly where China was. “Only I would rather have another
some one with me. I wish Ralph had come.”
The sun began to burn him and he wished for some shade.
“The ocean’s awfully sunny,” sighed poor Sunny Boy. “I feel queer
inside.”
He was hungry, but he didn’t know it. The queer feeling grew
worse and worse.
“My mother wouldn’t like me to be sick,” he said aloud. “I wish I
had a drink of water.”
He was really very thirsty, having had no water since breakfast. It
was now two or three o’clock in the afternoon, though there was
nothing to tell Sunny Boy the time. He had never gone without a
meal in his life, and whenever he had wanted a drink of water it had
always been easy to get. Sunny Boy, if he had only known it, was
experiencing some of the worst troubles of shipwrecked sailors.
“I’m lonesome—but I won’t cry,” he said stoutly.
His voice sounded so little on the wide stretch of blue water that
he knew, deep down in his heart, no one could hear him. But he
stood up in the boat—luckily it was a flat-bottomed rowboat or it
might have tipped and spilled him out and that would have been a
serious matter—and shouted as loud as he could. He shouted until
he was tired, and then, realizing that he was a very little boy alone
on a very big ocean, brave little Sunny Boy did give up and cried.
And some grown men, in his place, would have cried, too.
Curled down in the bottom of the boat, he rested his head on one
of the seats and tried to shut out the hot sunlight.
“I wish,” he murmured drowsily, “I had a drink of water. I wish
Mother was here. I wish I had my boat to show Daddy.”
Then, still making more wishes, Sunny Boy fell asleep.

These books for boys and girls between the ages of three and ten
stand among children and their parents of this generation where the
books of Louisa May Alcott stood in former days. The haps and
mishaps of this inimitable pair of twins, their many adventures and
experiences are a source of keen delight to imaginative children.
These stories ate eagerly welcomed by the little folks from about
five to ten years of age. Their eyes fairly dance with delight at the
lively doings of inquisitive little Bunny Brown and his cunning, trustful
Sister Sue.
