I am no expert, but I remember very clearly his section of my Biology class. Basically, cells go through a few phases when they divide. Once a cell has officially replicated itself, it goes through a checking process to make sure that the new cell has the proper genetic make up and that no mistakes were made in the replication process. In cancer cells, this process is skipped. The "healthy" cells make "unhealthy" cancer cells, but don't realize it. The healthy cell then dies off because there is a cell to replace it. However, the cell taking its place is a cancer cell. The cancer cell then divides and makes more cancer cells. This is how cancer grows and replaces healthy tissue. Also, because the cells don't take the time to make sure the cell was replicated properly in the cancer process, the cancer cells grow faster because they don't stop to double check that their growth is proper.

Is it important for cells to divide?
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.
Why is it important for cell to divide?

Do cancer cells divide at a faster rate than normal cells?
Yes, cancer cells typically divide at a faster rate than normal cells.
How fast do cancer cells divide and multiply within the body?
Cancer cells can divide and multiply at a faster rate than normal cells in the body, leading to uncontrolled growth and the formation of tumors. The exact speed at which cancer cells divide can vary depending on the type of cancer and individual factors.
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
What does bladder cancer do to the normal cells?
Bladder cancer will force normal cells to divide uncontrollably.
Do stem cells grow faster than cancer cells?
Stem cells do not necessarily grow faster than cancer cells. Cancer cells can divide more rapidly and uncontrollably than stem cells, which can contribute to the aggressive nature of cancer growth. However, stem cells have the ability to divide and differentiate into various cell types, while cancer cells typically lose this ability.
What is the first stage of the cell cycle when the cell prepares to divide?
When studying cells it is important to know the name for the different stages the cells go through. The G2 phase, or pre-mitotic phase is when the cell prepares to divide.
How do cancer cells grow and divide?
Cancer cells divide excessively and invade other tissues. They do not have density dependence or anchorage dependence. Simply put, regular cells grow in an even layer while cancer cells grow tightly and on top of each other - an unnatural mass.
Why are cancer cells able to divide quicker than normal cells?
Cancer cells can divide quicker than normal cells because they have mutations in their DNA that allow them to ignore the signals that control cell division. This uncontrolled growth is a key characteristic of cancer.
Can you describe the rate at which cancer cells divide?
Cancer cells can divide rapidly and uncontrollably, leading to the growth of tumors. This rapid division is a key characteristic of cancer and can contribute to the spread of the disease throughout the body.
Is cancer a growth disorder of cells that occurs when cells divide uncontrollably within the body or is it cystic fibrosis?
(Cystic fibrosis/Cancer) is a growth disorder of cells that occurs when cells divide uncontrollably within the body.
