What kills cancer cells by reversing the mutations that caused them to be cancer cells?
chemotheraphy
Does cancer result from genetic mutations-?
Mutating Cells can be a source of Cancer, but not necessarily. All mutating cells do not cause Cancer.
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 mutations that occur in body cells not involved in reproduction will not be passed on to the person offspring?
Cancer
How does mutation in the body cells cause damage?
Some mutaions of DNA in body cells affect genes that control cell division. This can result in the cells growing and dividing rapidly, producing cancer. If this is not right I'm sorry. I'm a little rusty on biology.

What are cancer mutations?
Some mutations cause cells to lose control over cell division
What characterises a cancer promoter?
A cancer promoter causes cells with DNA mutations to multiply and become tumors.

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.
How does chemestry affect cancer?
Chemicals that do not cause cancer by themselves but can act with another chemical to cause cancer (cocarcinogens). Damage to DNA in cells can lead to cancer. ... Unrepaired DNA damage can lead to mutations, or changes, in genes, and mutations in certain genes can cause cancer. You can also inherit mutations.
In the cell cycle of typical cancer cells mutations have caused?
Uncontrolled growth
The multiple hit model of cancer means that?
The multi-hit model of cancer is a way to outline the progression of cancer as the accumulation of mutations in the genome of cells. For example, a single cell may accumulate a genomic mutation through any well-known mutagen but may still be successful in completing the cell cycle. The daughter cells of this cell will contain this mutation in their genome. If these cells in turn accumulate another mutation, they now have 2 and will pass these on to their cell cycle progeny. Accumulation of mutations in a stepwise fashion has been seen in the progresion of cancer from benign to malignant to metastasis. Doctors and surgeons have isolated the tissues in various stages of cancer and have analyzed the genome of these cells. Much data has supported the multi-hit model of cancer. In essence, each mutation to a cell generation's genome is a "hit" and the accumulation of hits is what creates the tumor potential of the dividing progeny.
When cells sometimes divide uncontrollable and incorrectly what is this called?
Cancerous Cells
What mutations that occur in body cells not involved in reproduction will not be passed on to the person offspring?
Cancer
What human disease is characterized by unregulated mitosis?
Cancer. When cells divide in an unregulated fashion, mutations occur. These mutations quickly become a larger problem in the body, forming cancer tissue.
Why are mutations more serious when they occure in a sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells are more serious because they are heritable and affect the next generation. Remember, though, that mutations in somatic cells can cause cancer and tumors but are non- heritable.
