This figure illustrates 3 hypotheses of how a cancer stem cell may arise: (1) A stem cell undergoes a mutation, (2) A progenitor cell undergoes two or more mutations, or (3) A fully differentiated cell undergoes several mutations that drive it back to a stem-like state.
Answer:
well it would have to be out of your 23 pairs, but which ever it is will have an entire section of the chromosome missing, hence the name deletion.
Explanation:
The daughter cells have the same # of chromosomes and the same amount of DNA!
Protein synthesis as well as DNA transcription
Answer: A.
Explanation:
Cells generally have a relatively short lifestyle in that they grow, divide and then die off. This is not the case with cancerous cells as those ones mutate and then multiply such that they eventually form a tumor.
Looking at the graph, most of the cells are remaining at a lower or manageable number because they are dying off. Cell A on the other hand is simply increasing in number which means that it is a cancerous cell as it is increasing its number by mutating instead of dying off like other cells would.
