What is non-neoplastic changes?

Non-neoplastic changes refer to alterations in tissues or cells that do not involve the formation of tumors or cancerous growths. These changes can include a variety of processes such as inflammation, hyperplasia (an increase in the number of cells), atrophy (a decrease in cell size or number), and metaplasia (the transformation of one type of cell into another). Unlike neoplastic changes, which may lead to malignant or benign tumors, non-neoplastic changes are often reversible and can occur as a response to injury, stress, or chronic irritation.


DNA replication and transcription occur in the what?

DNA replication and transcription occur in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, replication and transcription occur in the cytoplasm.


What is excessive formation of cells or tissue?

Excessive formation of cells or tissue is known as hyperplasia. This can occur in response to various stimuli such as growth factors, hormones, or chronic irritation, leading to an increase in the number of cells in a particular tissue or organ. Hyperplasia can be non-neoplastic (normal cellular response) or neoplastic (potentially leading to tumor formation).


How does the process of DNA replication allow for daughters cells to have an exact copy of parental DNA?

replication


How does the structure of chromosomes in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells affect the DNA replication processes in a cell?

In prokaryotic cells, which have a single circular chromosome, replication initiates at a single origin of replication and proceeds bidirectionally until the entire chromosome is copied. In contrast, eukaryotic cells have multiple linear chromosomes that replicate from multiple origins of replication simultaneously. The linear nature of eukaryotic chromosomes poses challenges during replication, such as the need to overcome end-replication problem and preserving telomeres.

What is neoplastic etiologies?

Neoplastic etiology is the study of the cause for the growth of the abnormal proliferation of malignant cells.


What is treatment of neoplastic disease by using a ionizing radiation?

The radiation kills cells (healthy & neoplastic alike). IF you can kill the tumor cells without destroying too much health tissue, THEN you can claim that it's a treatment.


That is the chemical agent or hazardous material that interferes with the body's ability to transfer oxygen to the cells?

It is a nerve agent. Or chemical asphyxiant.An example is Hydrogine Cyanide.Cyanide is a fast-acting, potentially deadly chemical that prevents the cells of the body from using oxygen properly. When this happens, the cells die.

Where is replication usually located?

Replication typically occurs in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell and the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell. In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication takes place in the nucleus, while in prokaryotic cells like bacteria, replication occurs in the cytoplasm.
