Answer = The genetics of cancer - Genes are in DNA of our body each cells , The control how to cells function and how it is grow and how it is multiply .Genes are located in chromosomes .
Genes are made up of protein and the proteins have specific functions and act as messengers for the cell.This allows the protein to perform the correct function for the cell.
All cancers begin when one or more genes in a cell mutate. A mutation is a change. It creates an abnormal protein. Or it may prevent a protein’s formation and abnormal protein provides wrong information and cells goes to abnormal protein multiplication and which further goes to cancer so this condition prevent by some change in protein structure because genes are made up of protein.
* This condition prevent by following -
Tumor suppressor genes. = These are protective genes. Normally, they limit cell growth by:
Monitoring how quickly cells divide into new cells
Repairing mismatched DNA
Controlling when a cell dies
