Why is DNA damage a problem?

A cell with damaged DNA often cannot function properly and may become cancerous.


What happens during transformation?

A cell takes in DNA from the outside cell. This external DNA becomes part of the cell's DNA.


What happens to organelles with cancer?

Organelles that are in cancerous cells constantly divide without doing anything else. Normally, the cell's DNA would control the organelles into doing various activities, but the disruption of cell cycle causes the DNA to only send messages that tells the organelles to divide.


What happens during S phase of the cell cycle?

This is the phase in which DNA is replicated.


What happens if you have unrestrained cell growth and division?

Then the cell will form a tumor. These cancerous lumps can either be malignant or benign.


What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?

What happens during the S phase of the cell?

When a cell divides during asexual reproduction describe what happens to DNA of the cell during this type of cell division?

the DNA will divide


Describe what happens in a cell during interphase what if. Y our answer should mention DNA?

How can cancer start?

Cancer starts when your cell goes through cell cycle, which is the reproduction of cells. Your cell copies DNA so that there are 4 strands in your cell. The nuclear membrane disappear. The cells then line up in the middle of the cell. When the cells separate on to either side of the cell this can get messed up. If three DNA strands go to one side and one goes to the other side they become cancerous cells. When these cancerous cells build up they become tumors.


What happens in s1 phase of the cell cycle?

DNA replication


How does the exposure of radiation effect DNA?

The radiation can modify the molecules and atoms in DNA strands. Changing DNA changes the way the cell(s) reproduce and can result in a mutation that is inherited, a mutation that is cancerous, or the par of the DNA is inactive and will not result in a noticeable change.
