1) Which processes must occur in a cell during interphase before mitosis can take place?
2) Seeing as cancer is caused by uncontrolled mitotic cell division, what factors can increase the chance of uncontrolled cancerous growth?

2) Get rid of (mutate) any regulatory gene that you identified in question 1. (p53 tumor suppressor)

Yeah you really do need new books; try Biology by Campbell. You should be able to pick one up at a used book store somewhere.

>>6 Those are the steps of mitosis itself.
>>1 is asking for stuff like S phase and those cell kinases that regulate cell division.
