Question
Chapter 14, Problem 32RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A tumor suppressor and an oncogene are to be defined.
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.
