Explanation:
Cancer cells do not contain the capacity to undergo
- a regular cell cycle where they only undergo cell division in response to external signals within their environment, i.e. regulation.
- differentiation into specialized cell types, with different physical traits; together they can't form different tissues.
Multiple mutations in several protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are required to form cancer.
Cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes, develop from protooncogenes which regulate normal cell division. They may undergo mutations that alter gene expression, disrupt cell regulation and lead to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells- their resulting proteins are abnormal or not formed. Tumor suppressor genes, which can halt unregulated cell growth and division, may also become mutated.
Each individual inherits 2 copies of a gene from their parents- a single mutation in one of these does not directly lead to cancer. Multiple activated oncogenes, in turn produce damaged, non functional proteins and together contribute to forming cancers.
Further Explanation:
During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:
- somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
- hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.
Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Answer:
Proteins can be catalysts which help to reduce the energy used in a chemical reaction or speed it up. Proteins can help carry oxygen throughout the body in the form of hemoglobin
Explanation:
Helpful bacteria: Decomposers, Nitrogen fixers, Probiotics
Harmful bacteria: Pathogens, Salmonella, MRSA
Bacteria are microscopic,
single-celled organisms that exist in their millions, in every environment,
both inside and outside other organisms. There are many different types of
bacteria. One way of classifying them is by shape. Some bacteria are helpful
while some are harmful.
