Why does the cancer rarely occur in muscle fiber?
Muscle fibres do not divide very often. So there are less chances of making mistakes in the chromosomes and formation of cancer cells. So you rarely get cancer of the muscles.
Is breast cancer a sex chromosome?
No, breast cancer is not a sex chromosome. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts, and it can affect individuals of any sex. It is typically not directly related to sex chromosomes.
What part of the chromosome might be involved with processes such as aging and cancer?
Telomeres, located at the ends of chromosomes, play a role in aging and cancer. They protect the chromosome from degradation and help regulate cell division. Loss of telomere function has been associated with both aging and cancer development.
What discovery in the 1900 supported Mendel's ideas?
Chromosomes
How many chromosomes do lobsters have?
A lobster has 100 chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes, the same as a lizard. A dog has 78 chromosomes, and a fly has 12 chromosomes.
How are chromosomes related cancer?
A cancer is a chromosome of its own.
Is breast cancer do to a lack of chromosomes or extra chromosomes?
Neither. Breast cancer is the over growth of cells due to hormones or genetics.
How is DNA related to cancer?
They both have to do with chromosomes.
What chromosomes are affected by colon cancer?
Well, Cancer is when abnormal cells divide out of control. The chromosomes are the DNA that controls Cell Division
How is chromosomes related to cancer?
When cells multiply, each new cell usually gets an exact copy of all 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). But in a cancer cell this genetic copying process often goes out of control. Scientists can identify some cancers just by looking for typical changes in the chromosomes: pieces are often missing, duplicated or rearranged.

What problems are caused by the difficulties in replicating the ends of linear chromosomes?
The difficulties in replicating the ends of linear chromosomes can lead to issues such as incomplete DNA replication, loss of genetic material, and potential cell death. This can result in genetic instability and increased risk of diseases like cancer.
What does cancer have to do with mitosis?
In research at the University of California it was first noticed that cells with malformed chromosomes were prolific in cancerous tumors. Further research revealed that when a carcinogen (a toxic particle) enters a cell that is dividing, it attaches to the mitotic spindle. This causes the chromosomes to divide unevenly, which then reform haphazardly. Thls results in daughter cells that are not identical. but are deformed. These cells with malformed chromosomes go on to replicate, and eventually they form cancerous tumors. Unfortunately, the malformed chromosomes can be passed down to offspring, the reason why cancer can run in families.
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
