What are dividing normal human cells called?
Healthy, non-cancerous cells.
Why viruses regarded as being biological important?
1. Virotherapy is an experimental form of cancer treatment using biotechnology to convert viruses into cancer-fighting agents by reprogramming viruses to attack cancerous cells, while healthy cells remained relatively undamaged. Usually the viruses used are herpes simplex virus or Adenoviruses.
Is radiation more harmful to normal cells than to cancerous cells?
No, it is equally harmful, howver healthy cells can be replaced by new ones.
What do cancer cells grow into?
Cancer cells are able to take over healthy cells due to multiple mutations in the genes. When the healthy cells become cancerous, the genetic information will be damaged and destroyed.
Do viruses attack healthy cells?
because they want to make more of their kind

How is cancer is relates to cell cycle?
Cancer is related to the cell cycle because when a person gets infected, the cancerous cells attack healthy cells and then mutate the cells and then it rapidly creates new, mutated cells. The mutated cells then attack more healthy cells and the process is repeated. Cancerous cells can be killed with radiation

Why do viruses make us sick?
A virus will make us sick because it disrupts the function of the cells or actually kills cells. Viruses uses healthy cells in order to replicate.
Will normal or cancerous cells have a higher growth rate?
the cancerous cells
What cells are more cancerous?
Brain cells
What does negative malignant cells mean?
A malignant cell is a cancer cell. Once that is growing out of control. No malignant cell means the absence of cancer cells. This means the observed cells are healthy.
How do you change the vampire cells to healthy cells on poptropica?
Ask your mom
Since a virus attacks cells at random why can't we just inject a virus into a localized area of the body with cancer and let the virus wipe the cancer out?
Because then the virus would infect the cancerous cells and any nearby healthy cells. Scientists are researching technology that utilizes lasers and nano-bots to attack cancerous cells and destroy them.
How are healthy genes transferred?
the two ways genes can be transferred into cells by using viruses and liposomes as vectors.
