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.
What are cells that have lost control over their growth rate and division?
Cancer cells.
When culturing cells why do researchers prefer cancer cells over healthy cells extracted from an organism?
Cancer cells divide quickly and almost indefinitely. This makes them easy to grow in a dish while tissue culture with healthy cells is almost impossible.
Cancer can result when cells retain too tight of control over the cell cycle?
Yes .
Why is too much exposure to ultraviolet radiation dangerous?
over exposure to the sun can lead to sunburn, sunstroke and even skin cancer. over exposure can also lead to early onset wrinkles, moles and sun spots.However it is worth noting that sun in moderation is essential for a healthy body as it is full of vitamin D.
How do x rays affect living tissue and cells?
Over-exposure can damage the cells at molecular level, risking cancer. This is why the dose is very carefully controlled to a safe level and duration, and the radiographers themselves operate the machine from a safe area.

What are cells that have lost control over their growth rate and division?
Cancer cells.
Why can cancer be considered a disease of the cell cycle?
because cancer happens when control over the cell cycle has broken down the cell cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide, and cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
How many different types of cancer is there?
There are over 200 types of cancer. There are over 60 organs where cancer can form in your body. Cancer can form in about all types of cells in your body.
How is breast cancer caused?
Breast cancer is caused by cells that lose control over how fast they replicate. Cancer cells divide quickly and rapidly, and they can invade surrounding tissues. Cancer cells can also travel to lymph nodes and to other sites in the body.
How is uncontrolled cell division is dangerous in organisms?
The downside of cell division is that oncogene* may develop and lead to cancer. In the long term this is unavoidable.Cell division, also results in the cells having shorter chromosomes. Over a lifetime this results in aging* www.dictionary.com definition: A gene that causes the transformation of normal cells into cancerous tumour cells, especially a viral gene that transforms a host cell into a tumour cell.
Does smoking meth cause lung cancer?
Yes, the cancer cells may have already been formed and were laying dormant, but have now emerged. Unfortunately, the damage has been done, but if you go for about a decade with no cancer, then usually you are clear.
How do you know if you have cancer cells in your body?
Cancer cells are a natural occurrence in the human body, so everybody has them. This does not mean they are harmful or active, they only cause cancer in over abundance or if chemically activated somehow.
Do cancer cells show density dependent inhibition?
No, Cancer cells do not realize that they are becoming invasive and therefore keep dividing and eventually metastasize.
What makes a cell cancerous?
The cells multiple by copying their DNA by splitting thir chromosomes in half. They take over healthy cells and infect their DNA then they split in half creating 2 cancer cells.
When culturing cells why do researchers prefer cancer cells over healthy cells extracted from an organism?
Cancer cells divide quickly and almost indefinitely. This makes them easy to grow in a dish while tissue culture with healthy cells is almost impossible.
