A respond to Farid of SEMASHUR:
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF CELL CYCLE MALFUNCTION TO THE BODY ?
Cell reproduction is the leading cause of growth and developement in our bodies. This reproduction is caused by the cell cycle, which is defined as the life of a cell from its origin in the division of its parent cell until its own division into two.
The cell cycle goes through 5 main steps in order to reproduce: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
When prophase occurs, changes take place in the nucleus and cytoplasm. The cell is now prepared for anaphase, the following step, which is where the chromatid detach from one another and travel to opposite poles of the cell.
If a problem occurs in the cell cycle, and a malfunction in cell growth results, malignant tumors, also known as cancer may form.
The cell cycle is important for regulation of production of new, healthy cells in the body. If and when these cells stop dividing, ( they may do so at random points in the cycle or between phases ) , the cells usually have an irregular number of chromosomes, and if a tumor spreads through circulatory passage ways, it can cause harm or even death to the entire organism.
I hope it helps..
