Note: Be sure to includewhatyou expect to observe andwhyyou think you will observe these features. Think about what you know about cancerous cell growth to help construct this information
Hint: It may be helpful to count the number of chromosomes count the number of pairs compare the sizes of homologous chromosomes look for any missing or additional genetic markers/flags etc.

Post-Lab Questions
1.Record your hypothesis fromStep 1 in the Procedure section here.
2.What do your resultsindicate about cell cycle control?
3.Suppose a person developed amutation in a somatic cell which diminishes the performance of the bodysnatural cell cycle control proteins. This mutation resulted in cancer but waseffectively treated with a cocktail of cancer-fighting techniques. Is it possiblefor this persons future children to inherit this cancer-causing mutation? Bespecific when you explain why or why not.
4.Why do cells which lack cellcycle control exhibit karyotypes which look physically different than cellswith normal cell cycle.
5.What are HeLa cells? Why areHeLa cells appropriate for this experiment?
