How is cancer related to meiosis?

Mitosis is a form of cell division. Cancer is a mutation in cell division, generally in such a way that cell divide too often and are unregulated and end up developing a mass. Those cells also carry the mutation and those cells divide and create new mutated cells, on and on and on.


What problems can occur in the cell cycle?

It's possible, that a cell can get sick and not know when to stop growing. If it doesn't know when to stop growing, then it will continue to make more cells uncontrollably. Eventually, it starts to form into cancer. That's actually how people get cancer. Since the cell doesn't know to stop producing, it ends up spreading cancer. That's why if you go to the doctor soon after you get cancer, they can stop it. They just kill those sick cells.


How does the cancer affect the cell cycle?

Cancer can disrupt the normal regulation of the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation. Mutations in genes that control cell cycle checkpoints can allow cancer cells to bypass mechanisms that normally prevent excessive cell growth. This disruption of the cell cycle can contribute to the unchecked proliferation of cancer cells.


What is licing a cancer cell during chemotherapy?

Lysing a cancer cell during chemotherapy refers to the destruction or breakdown of the cancer cell membrane, leading to cell death. Chemotherapy drugs are designed to target and kill fast-growing cancer cells by interfering with their ability to divide and grow. Lysing cancer cells is a key mechanism by which chemotherapy works to shrink tumors and control cancer growth.


What is the result of uncontrolled cell division that is often caused by mutations?

It depends where in the cell cycle things go wrong. Possibly apotosis (cell death), but given the way the question was worded I assume you are asking about uncontrolled cell division which is cancer.

What is the relationship between skin cancer and cell cycle?

skin cancer (any cancer for that matter) is when the cell cycle becomes completely unregulated and only performs cell division without its normal cell functions.


What can cause the cell cycle to be uncontrolled?

what can cause the cell cycle to be uncontrolled is that if a pathogen gets into the cell the cell will turn into a cancer cell and that will make the cell cycle uncontrolledif your cell turns into a cancer cell then you will have cancer cells reproducing faster than a normal cell(a normal cell is supposed to reproduce every 22 hour's a cancer cell reproduces every 10 hours)


What is the difference between small and large cell cancer?

My husband was just diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. I would like to know what is the difference between small cell and larger cell cancer. This is refering to small cell and large cell lung cancer, so I don't know how helpful it'll be: Small cell lung cancer is called this because the cancer cells are small cells that are mostly filled with the nucleus. Small cell cancer spreads early on, so radiotherapy, rather than surgery, is suggested. Large cell lung cancer is called this because the cells look large and rounded. This type of cancer spreads more quickly. source: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/type/lung-cancer/about/types-of-lung-cancer#large


What is another name for uncontrolled cell division?

Another name for uncontrolled cell division is cancer.

What are other names for lung cancer?

cancer of the lungs There are many types . . . non-small cell carcenoma, which includes squamous cell, adenocarcenoma, bronchioalveolar, and large-cell undifferentiated carcenoma. There is also small cell lung cancer.


How is cancer cell growth different from normal cell growth?

Cancer cell growth is different from normal cell growth because cancer cells divide uncontrollably and do not respond to signals that regulate cell growth and death. This uncontrolled growth can lead to the formation of tumors and the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.
