Biology
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cancer is formed when there are mutations in a number of genes.

Explanation:

Malignant tumors are gene diseases which do not mean that cancer is necessarily an inherited disease (only in 5-10% of cases the cancer is inherited) because the vast majority of other tumors are the result of somatic, ie secondary, mutations that lead to malignant transformation.

Only 2% of human diseases are monogenic (caused by a change in one gene). The remaining 98% of the disease is either polygenic (caused by a change in several genes at the same time) or epigenetic (caused by non-genetic or post-genetic disorders of cellular molecules).

What is checked in the GAP 2 stage of interphase?
EleoNora [17]

During the second gap, or G2 phase, the cell continues to grow in size and produce proteins necessary for cell division. Microtubules, filamentous internal structures, necessary for separating the chromosome copies are made during this phase. The second internal checkpoint that determines if the cell can continue through its cycle occurs in G2. While the G1 checkpoint checks to verify DNA is error free before replication, the checkpoint in G2 confirms the new DNA is error free after replication
