How would a problem in mitotic division cause cancer

Biology
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
3 0

The most common form of cell division is called mitosis. It is used for growth and repair. During mitosis, a cell makes an exact copy of itself and splits into two new cells.

Mitosis is closely controlled by the genes inside every cell. Sometimes this control can go wrong.  If that happens in just a single cell, it can replicate itself to make new cells that are also out of control. These are cancer cells.

Explanation:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.
