What is meant by constitutional DNA and its role in cancer detection?
Constitutional DNA means the normal DNA of a patient with a cancer (from blood for example). It is possible to compare the constitutional DNA from healthy tissue to tumor DNA from the cancer to know the mutations that are important for tumor formation.
What is the relationship between DNA and cancer?
The relationship between Cancer and DNA cancer begins when mutations distrupt the normal cell cycle, causing cells to divide in an uncontrolled way.
What are the chemicals or elements that make up a cancer cell?
Cancer cells are made of the same chemicals and elements that normal cells are made of. The only difference is a mutation in the DNA.
Why would DNA polymerase be useful in a potential anti cancer drug?
DNA polymerase can fill the gaps in the DNA that are left by removal of damage bases. DNA polymerase can help cancer cells to tolerate DNA damage.
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
Is cancer part of DNA?
Cancer is not part of DNA. Change in DNA. may cause cancer . Some people may be born with faulty DNA which might cause the cells that read the faulty section of DNA to reproduce uncontrollably, but on the other hand, exposure to radiation or carcinogens may cause the DNA in a few specific cells to mutate and thus not be controllable by the rest of the cells in your body.
How is DNA related to cancer?
They both have to do with chromosomes.
Sometimes mutations in DNA can cause control of the cell cycle to fail. What might happen if such a mutation occurred in a person's DNA?
The failure of DNA replication during the cell cycle can cause mutations. If such mutations occurred in a person's DNA, the person can end up getting cancer.
Is everbody's DNA the same?
No, everybody does not have the same DNA. DNA is your unique signature.
Why is important that exact copies of DNA are produced during replication?
because if not.. it will cause DNA mutation... your features may change or worst.. it may cause cancer... because in theory.. cancer is caused by DNA mutations...
Do cancer cells have DNA?
Yes Cancer cells have DNA, just like all the rest of the cells in your (or any organisms body). The only difference is that a cancer cells DNA has been mutated (changed) and not harms the body it is a part of (usually through continual mitosis). Hope this Helps
How to Compare you heart DNA to brain DNA?
They are the same. The DNA is the same everywhere in the body.
