Cancer Research Activity

Choose any cancer to research and answer the following questions below. Complete in a

Google Doc and submit to Google Classroom assignment.

1. What cancer are you researching?

2. What are the symptoms of this cancer?

4. What is the mortality rate of this cancer?

5. What is the survival rate of this cancer?

 

Evaluation

All submissions of this webquest will be evaluated for accuracy, completeness, and ability to follow directions.

Submission and completion of this webquest can replace an assignment you received a zero on or would like to add points to. Must equal 100%. 

Conclusion

The cell cycle is a very complex, important process that occurs in all cells. The cell cycle not only makes new cells but is able to replace lost or damaged cells in the body. It is important to understand the cell cycle in order to research dysfunctions of this cycle, like in cancer for example.
