abnormal clump
A(n) ________ or a group of cells that reduces the normal functions of the body's tissue by "invading it.
DNA
Each ________ contains thousands of genes that are responsible for controlling the type of protein that is created by the cell.
interphase
During ________, the cell grows and the nuclear DNA is duplicated.
Cells
________ with abnormal genetic material that are dividing uncontrollably and can spread to other body parts invading other tissues.
Cancer cells
________ can break away from orginial (or primary) tumour and move to a different part of the body.
Cell growth
________- repair and replacement of damaged cel parts (worn away, aged, or damaged)- reproduction of new species.
Early warning signs
________ can be similar to other common illnesses, making them easy to overlook.
non dividing
Interphase, the ________ stage is the longest phase because many cells leave due to there being enough cells of a type that are not required.
Tumour
________ that is cancerous and does spread to other tissue- replicates faser and can destroy nearby tissues.
Cells
________ mutated with abnormal genetic material can become cancerous cells.
Do not destruct creating a genetic error that can replicate uncontrollably to other tissues
creating a clump of abnormal cells with further mutations (tumour)
They can spread to other parts of the body and continue dividing
tumours can reduce the efffectiveness of body tissues and their function
Tumour that is cancerous and does spread to other tissue
replicates faser and can destroy nearby tissues
Not enough nutrients are availible to provide for cell growth
DNA has not replicated or is damaged/mutated
Ex
tabocca, medical radiation, UV rays, alcohol, processed meat, virsues, medications, etc
Ex
eletromagenetic radiation (UV rays, X-rays), chemicals (tar in cigarettes, mercury)
The results do not always mean that there is a 100% chance of the disorder or disease
could be you might have a greater chance of getting it
