360Science™: Cancer and the Loss of Cell Cycle Control

firewatch

In this lab, students explore the consequences of uncontrolled cell division. They will explore how scientists use karyotyping to detect chromosomal errors associated with cancer and other diseases. Students will assemble a paper karyotype with a chromosomal error and compare it to a normal karyotype.

Concepts

  • Cell cycle
  • Chromosome structure errors
  • Cancer
  • Karyotype
  • Apoptosis
