NURS 231 PORTAGE LEARNING
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY MODULE
EXAM 2 WITH 1005 CORRECT
ANSWERS 2026
neoplasia correct answer disorder of altered cell differentiation
and growth
neoplasm correct answer the new growth that occurs as a
result of neoplasia
proliferation correct answer --process of increasing cell
numbers by mitotic cell division
differentiation correct answer process in which cells become
more specialized with each mitotic division
cell cycle (figure 2.1) correct answer G1 (first growth phase)
S (DNA synthesis phase)
to G2 (second growth phase)
M (mitosis).
G1 correct answer (gap 1)
--DNA synthesis stops
, --cell enlarges
--both RNA and protein synthesis begin
S phase correct answer --DNA synthesis occurs
--produces two separate sets of chromosomes, one for each
daughter cell.
G2 correct answer (gap 2)
--DNA synthesis again stops
--RNA/protein synthesis continues
--first three (G1, S, G2) phases are referred to as interphase
checkpoints correct answer --Located at the end of each of
these phases (G1, S-phase, and G2)
--means of molecular surveillance used to ensure the cell is ready
to proceed to the next phase
--if not, the cycle is halted and allowed to complete its replication
or even repair any DNA damage (when detected), thereby
ensuring all the genetic information is passed on correctly.
M phase correct answer --consists of mitosis (dividing up the
DNA) and cytoplasmic division
--continually dividing cells, like the skin's squamous epithelium,
continue to cycle from one mitotic division to the next, while
some cells go into a resting state known as G0.
--A resting phase (G0) may occur when nutrients or growth factors
are unavailable or when highly specialized cells first leave the cell
