How are tumors formed?
In: Biology
Tissue is made up of cells. Those cells live, and die. While they are living they divide to make an identical copies. Well, sometimes the copy isn’t perfect. Those imperfect copies can go haywire and make way too many copies. That’s one type of tumor. Sometimes the body will form a mass of tissue around a perceived defect. I am sure some of what I said isn’t correct though. But you’re just 5.
Our bodies are made up of tiny cells, that constantly replicate themselves to upkeep your organs and tissues. Sometimes, during this replication, the DNA inside the cell mutates because it’s copied incorrectly, so the cell becomes different. Sometimes the mutation is benign and doesn’t do anything harmful, but sometimes, it turns the cell rogue, so it starts to replicate itself uncontrollably and form massive tumors. Cells usually have checkpoints in place to regulate how fast they divide, but cancer cells have mutated aspects of these checkpoints so that they no longer apply to them.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!! I finally understand, thank you very much
