Why does the cancer rarely occur in muscle fiber?
Muscle fibres do not divide very often. So there are less chances of making mistakes in the chromosomes and formation of cancer cells. So you rarely get cancer of the muscles.
What discovery in the 1900 supported Mendel's ideas?
Chromosomes
Could a human end up with special ability if they had more chromosomes than normal?
Contrary to comic book mythology, if you mess with the number of chromosomes, the result is either a nonviable zygote, severe genetic abnormalities, or later in life, cancer. Humans can survive with extra or missing sex chromosomes, but usually an odd number of autosomes results in spontaneous abortion of the embryo. In short, you will not be able to read minds with a few extra chromosomes.
How is Eukaryotic DNA organized?
they are grouped into multiple chromosomes.
How do autosomal chromosomes differ from chromosomes?
Autosomal chromosomes are all non-sex (X or Y) chromosomes.
How are chromosomes related cancer?
A cancer is a chromosome of its own.
Is breast cancer do to a lack of chromosomes or extra chromosomes?
Neither. Breast cancer is the over growth of cells due to hormones or genetics.
How is DNA related to cancer?
They both have to do with chromosomes.
What chromosomes are affected by colon cancer?
Well, Cancer is when abnormal cells divide out of control. The chromosomes are the DNA that controls Cell Division
How is chromosomes related to cancer?
When cells multiply, each new cell usually gets an exact copy of all 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). But in a cancer cell this genetic copying process often goes out of control. Scientists can identify some cancers just by looking for typical changes in the chromosomes: pieces are often missing, duplicated or rearranged.
Why does the cancer rarely occur in muscle fiber?
Muscle fibres do not divide very often. So there are less chances of making mistakes in the chromosomes and formation of cancer cells. So you rarely get cancer of the muscles.
What will happen if a human have more or less chromosomes?
If you have more or less chromosomes,you will have a rare disease called "anti-chromosome".it is also known as Down Syndrome.You may suffer from brain damage or cancer too.This is a very rare disease.

What does cancer have to do with mitosis?
In research at the University of California it was first noticed that cells with malformed chromosomes were prolific in cancerous tumors. Further research revealed that when a carcinogen (a toxic particle) enters a cell that is dividing, it attaches to the mitotic spindle. This causes the chromosomes to divide unevenly, which then reform haphazardly. Thls results in daughter cells that are not identical. but are deformed. These cells with malformed chromosomes go on to replicate, and eventually they form cancerous tumors. Unfortunately, the malformed chromosomes can be passed down to offspring, the reason why cancer can run in families.
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
