Question
Chapter 14, Problem 31RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The characteristics that are shown by the cancer cells.
Concept introduction:
Cancer cells are same as the normal cells in the human body. It can be said that they are the modified mutant forms of human cells. The healthy cells get mutated by getting exposed to carcinogenic things—harmful irradiation.
The anticancer agents kill both normal cells and cancer cells. The exploiting part is that cancer cells form again at a faster rate than the normal cells.
