What happens to cells?
Cancer cells are mutated cells which can rapidly multiply and cause disease. The mutated cells become a problem because they not only don't accomplish the task they were intended for, but they also get in the way of other cells doing their intended function. The more cells, the bigger the problem.
How do tumor suppressor genes work to prevent the development of cancer?
Tumor suppressor genes help prevent cancer by regulating cell growth and division. They can repair damaged DNA, trigger cell death, or stop cells from dividing uncontrollably. When these genes are mutated or inactive, cells can grow out of control, leading to the development of cancer.
What type of cells carry mutated DNA?
Cells that carry mutated DNA can include cancer cells, germline cells, and somatic cells. Cancer cells typically have accumulated mutations that drive unchecked growth, while germline cells can pass mutations onto offspring. Somatic cells, found throughout the body, can also harbor mutations that may or may not lead to disease.
What are the most commonly mutated genes in cancer and how do they contribute to the development and progression of the disease?
The most commonly mutated genes in cancer are TP53, KRAS, and PIK3CA. These mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, resistance to cell death, and increased ability to spread to other parts of the body. This contributes to the development and progression of cancer by allowing the cancer cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, evade the immune system, and invade surrounding tissues.
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 would happen if cells with mutated DNA replicated?
Cancer.
The two types of cell cycle genes if mutated cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably are called tumor suppressor genes and?
The two types of cell cycle genes that cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably if mutated are called tumor suppressor genes and antioncogene
Oncogenes are genes that A) fight cancer. B) suppress the normal activity of the immune system. C) can signal cells to reproduce uncontrollably. D) have mutated.?
Oncogenes are genes that C) can signal cells to reproduce uncontrollably. They typically arise from mutated proto-oncogenes, which normally regulate cell growth and division. When these genes become activated or overexpressed, they can lead to cancer development by promoting excessive cell proliferation.
Is a disease in which cells grow and divide uncontrollably?
Cancerous Cells
Are mutated cells different than good cells?
Yes, "good" cells are just regular, while a mutated cell is exactly that; a cell with a genetic mutation.
When cells are cancerous what are they doing uncontrollably?
Replicating uncontrolled.
How many cells are replicated?
15,000,000 cells replicate in the body?
What happens to cells?
Cancer cells are mutated cells which can rapidly multiply and cause disease. The mutated cells become a problem because they not only don't accomplish the task they were intended for, but they also get in the way of other cells doing their intended function. The more cells, the bigger the problem.
How can normal cells become cancer cells?
They can be mutated through irradiation.
What would happen if cytokinesis occurred without mitosis explain?
The chromosomes would not have replicated, so the resulting daughter cells will not have the correct ploidy.
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.
What process are blood cells replicated?
mitosis
