  3. Mitosis • Mitosis is the process in which a cell separates the chromosomes into two identical sets but to different nuclei. • Only occurs in eukaryotic cells and the process of mitosis varies between different species

  4. Mitosis in Cancer Cells • Cancer is the mutation of a cell • Cancer cells multiply really fast and start to pile up • The cancer is a tumor • It can spread throughout the body and cause more tumors

  5. Interesting Facts • A new born baby has around a billion cells. Her weight will double in about two months because she will have twice as many cells • Cancer cells are “immortal”. Regular cells divide 50 times and then die but cancer cells can go on indefinitely. • Insulin stimulates cell growth. Cancer cells have six to ten times more insulin receptors than normal cells. Studies show that high insulin levels correlate with higher risks of developing cancer and lower rates of survival amongst cancer patients • Cancer cells are more vulnerable to unusually high body temperatures (fevers) than normal cells.
