Cancer is fundamentally a disease of genes, as it arises from mutations in the DNA that alter normal cell function. These genetic changes can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and division, which are hallmarks of cancer. While environmental factors and lifestyle choices can influence these genetic changes, the underlying mechanisms of cancer are rooted in the genetic alterations that affect cellular behavior. Hence, it can be said that cancer is a disease of both genes and DNA, as the mutations in DNA within genes drive the disease.

A disease caused by a mutation in genes that control the cell cycle?
Cancer is a disease caused by mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. These mutations can disrupt the normal processes that control cell division and growth, allowing cancer cells to multiply uncontrollably and form tumors.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes are structures made of DNA that carry genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins. DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic information needed for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms.
Are genes and proteins both made of DNA?
Genes are the units of heredity, and are made up of segments of DNA
How are genes are protein related?
Genes are made up of DNA. DNA have codes to form proteins
How do our genes control our proteins?
Genes contain our DNA. Proteins are synthesized according to data on DNA
Cancer is a disease of which of these?
Genes
Cancer is a disease of which of these genes DNA hormones?
Cancer emerges by DNA mutations. DNA = genes. The mutations lead to protein aberations in the cell. But, some proteins are hormones as well and some of these can cause cancer. To summarize it, let's say that cancer is a disease of genes and DNA in 95% cases and cancer is a disease of hormons in 5% cases. (very roughly, but it is true)
What type of disease is cancer?
Genes on A+
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.
Are genes in DNA or are DNA in geans?
genes are in DNA
What does BRCA mean?
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two genes in your DNA which when altered or mutated, leads to Breast cancer.
A disease caused by a mutation in genes that control the cell cycle?
Cancer is a disease caused by mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. These mutations can disrupt the normal processes that control cell division and growth, allowing cancer cells to multiply uncontrollably and form tumors.
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 is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes are structures made of DNA that carry genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins. DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic information needed for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms.
What do DNA Profiling and Captive Breeding programs to help Tasmanian Devils?
DNA profiling can help determine the particular genes which are active in the deadly cancer cells. This inturn can help scientist find a cure for the disease. Captive breeding ensure that there are a population of healthy devils which can be sustainably released into the wild.
How much of your DNA contains genes?
20.3% of your DNA contains genes
Scientists are trying to find a way to turn off the genes that cause genetic disease This would be a type of?
DNA Manipulation
