What this the relationship between DNA mutation and cancer?

Answer 1

because your climbing near the sun and the sun gives you skin cancer....

Answer 2

It is a mutation to a proto-oncogene, so that it becomes an oncogene. This means that it codes either for the production of a growth factor that is then over-produces, or codes for a membrane receptor that is permanently 'switched on' even in the absence of the growth factor

Cancer is a cell that loses its ability to "listen" to the cyclins telling it to stop growing, so it grows profusely without stopping

Answer 3

Mutations always occur throughout your body, but the body is able to detect these mutations and eliminate them before they pose a problem to the body. However, some mutations are unable to be recognized by the body. These unrecognizable mutations are the cancers that we refer to.

Answer 4

DNA is the genetic makeup of an organism. During normal replication, there is chance for incorporating mismatched bases, but these are repaired by repairing enzymes. Mutation can be either beneficial or harmful one. For example, UV can cause mutation by forming thymidine dimers. The mutation in a Gene can lead to cancer if it produces an abnormal protein. This may lead to transformation i.e., transforming a normal cell into cancer cell. cancer cell will undergo abnormal proliferation.

Answer 5

Yes.
