Answer:
The possible fate of the cell that it may turn cancerous.
Explanation:
The cells present in the body generally work in harmony. However, if a cell attains a mutation, it can make it proliferate in the case when it should not do, and make it thrive in the case when other cells are dying. Due to proliferation, the unusual cell produces more abnormal cells also known as cancerous cells. These cancerous cells become more favorable in comparison to the normal cells due to the phenomenon of natural selection. These cells eventually result in a lethal form of tumors.
In the normal cells, the destructed gene or the damaged cells get repaired easily, in case if the damage is worse the cell dies. A protein known as p53 helps in repairing damaged cells or kills them if the damage is too severe. But in the case of cancer cells, the p53 protein does not work appropriately as they possess a mutated or changed form of p53 protein. Thus, in the case of cancerous cells, the rate of repair lags behind the rate of mutation, which makes the cancer cells thrive and increase in numbers resulting in further destruction.
Both chicken pox and shingles are caused by varicella zoster.
Explanation:
Shingles and chicken pox both occurs by the attack of the virus, varicella zoster.
Cause: - The chicken pox spreads through the infectious elements in a person’s cough, sneeze and breathing. The shingles occur when this virus gets reactivated.
Portal entry: - Chicken pox virus enters through the tract of respiration and shingles enter from a person who already have it.
Signs & Symptoms: - Pox includes- fever, blister like itchy rash and shingles include- blister rash which has a distribution that is like a band.
Incubation period: - Pox can stay for a minimum of 15 days approximately and shingles too last for few weeks.
Treatment and prevention: - Both include treatment of antiviral and both can be prevented by avoiding infected people and increasing body immunity etc.
