Big Ideas
- Disruptions to the cell cycle can lead to serious diseases, including cancer, by interfering with normal cellular processes.
- Understanding how the cell cycle works and how its regulation fails is essential for explaining the development of diseases.
Essential Questions
- What is the cell cycle, and why is it important for the growth and maintenance of organisms?
- How can the disruption of the cell cycle lead to diseases such as cancer?
- What factors can cause disruptions to the normal cell cycle?
- How does uncontrolled cell division differ from normal cell growth?
- How do scientists use knowledge of the cell cycle to research and develop cancer treatments?
