Document Summary
From one of the organisms" own cells: cancer can be, benign they don"t spread, malignant the cells have the ability to invade surrounding tissues. Indicate how we know cancer is a genetic disease: define the properties of cancer cells, outline the properties and roles of cancer-causing genes, describe ways in which biochemistry and molecular biology are leading to new cures for cancer. Molecular basis of cancer: the study of the causes of cancer has been the focal point of a tremendous amount of research, these efforts have uncovered many key aspects of cell biology. In addition, the complexity of the disease has demanded that biologists delve into more basic studies of cellular processes such as transcription, replication, In fact, cancer can often be traced to a single cell that has undergone an inheritable change that causes it to lose growth control.
