Cancer is a disease caused by severe disruption of the mechanisms that normally control the cell cycle. This disruption leads to uncontrolled cell division, which if unchecked can result to death.

∙ 13y agoCancer is a mutation in the information part of the cell, the DNA itself. This happens more often then most people think and is not always dangerous because normally the mutation causes the cell to be unable to reproduce. Malignant Cancer is when a harmful mutation leaves the cell still able to reproduce. So in short, yes malignant cancer cells do reproduce.

Cancer relates to an uncontrolled increase in the rate of mitosis

What has gone wrong with a cancer cell?
its is based on the cell reproduction
What happens when cell reproduction is no longer controlled?
cancer?
Which mutation can disrupt the control of cell reproduction?
Cancer
What cell function appears to go awry in the case of cancer cells?
Cell reproduction goes awry in the case of cancer cells. Due to an error in DNA replication, the normal mechanism that controls cell reproduction does not function, and the cancer cells continuously reproduce without any control.
What type of disease can occur from mutations that can disrupt the control of cell reproduction?
cancer
What occurs at cancer at a cellular level?
Basically a cancer cell is a cell that it is out of control and invades tissues in uncontrolled reproduction taking over blood and nutrients supplies.
How mutations and cancer related?
A mutation of a cell is the reason Cancer is started.
What is uncontrolled dividing of a cell called?
idk... help me!!Don't answer like this! *The answer is Mitosis*

How do cells form cancer?
Cancer cells form when the DNA is damaged and the body can't fix it. Then the cell multiplies out of control.
What is meant by cell reproduction?
Cell reproduction refers to the division of the cells which occurs and can be described as reproduction. The cell divides in to two cells through Meiosis and Mitosis which are two different ways of cell reproduction also known as cell division.
What type of reproduction involves mesiosis?
Mitosis is the reproduction of any autosomal cell (non-sex cells). One cell splits into two daughter cells that are exact replicates of each other and have the same number of chromosomes that the mother cell had.
