Cancer Garrett Jaxson Gavin & Carter
Genes
P-53
Humans Have 1
Large Animals Have More
When Working
Runs "checkpoints" to ensure that duplicating cells don't have cancer
When Not working
Person has chance of attaining cacer
3 different types; all have different frunctions
Some p53 can incorrectly pair nucleotides, leading to mutations
Humans & Animals
Any Humans or animals can get Cancer
Risk Factor
Elderly People Have the Highest Risk
80-84 is the most common age to get cancer
Older people have a higher chance of getting cancer due to more divisions
Genetic
Family Lineage
Height
Taller people are more likely to get cancer due to more cells
Breast and Lung are the most Common Types
Different types in different body parts
Location
Rate of Cancer per State Varies
Cell Type
Some types of cells are more likely to get cancer (breast, lung)
Cells divide at different rates depending on the type.
Tumors
Benign
Does not harm non-cancerous cells
Malignant
Does harm non-cancerous cells
Metastasized cancer cells spread throught the body
Skin Cancer
Tissue
Clumps up and creates tumors that throw off normal functions.
Organ
Cancer cells take up space in the organ; disrupts the organ's function
Organ System
slows down organ system process
Organism
makes you feel sick
Cells
Builds up tumors in cells; breaks through all layers
DNA
Made of nucleotides
A paired with T; C paired with G
Helicase (splits nucleotides during S Phase)
must be copied before the cell can divide
DNA is made up of proteins which have different shapes and functions
Mutations will mess up the DNA sequences
Chromosomes hold DNA
