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
Are mutations more common in sperm cells or egg cells?
It depends on the age of the person. There are more mutations and defects in eggs as the woman ages. However, as men are constantly producing more sperm cells they will inevitably produce more cells that have mutations. The percentage of sperms cells that have mutations will increase as the man ages.
What characterises a cancer promoter?
A cancer promoter causes cells with DNA mutations to multiply and become tumors.
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.
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
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.
