Question
The question of growth. How do our cells know when to stop dividing? Our arms are generally the same size on both sides of the body. How is cell division so tightly regulated?
Expert Solution

Step 1
Introduction:
Cell growth refers to the increase in cell size (mass accumulation),whereas cell division explains the splitting of a mother cell into two daughter cells The process of making more cells by cell division is known as cell proliferation. The cell cycle and the processes that control it are closely related to both cell division and growth.

( Next par cancer stem cellsarrow_forwardCentrosomes and Cancer Centrosomes are an organelle involved in the process of cell division. To be specific, centrosomes organize microtubules during cell division and then divide themselves (Segre 2021). "Centrosome aberrations are the hallmark of human cancers". These centrosome abnormalities can be either structural or numerical, but either way can result in cancer in humans. Abnormal centrosomes are linked to the disruption of normal cell and tissue organization and chromosomal instability found in malignant tumors (Salisbury et. al. 1999). The symptoms of cancer vary depending on where this malignant tumor is located, and can range from pain to weight loss to abnormal lumps and bumps. Treatment methods and possibility also vary with cancer depending on where the tumor is located. Some common cancer treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

The level of DNA replication in corneal epithelial cells in mice is high in the morning and low in the afternoon/evening. As a consequence, injury in the morning is expected to lead to accelerated entry into mitosis and wound repair compared to injury in the afternoon/evening.

Immune System: suggesting that aging is due to a break- down in the body's natural defense system against bacteria, viruses, and other substances. ◆ Error Theory: suggesting that errors at the cellular level produce "faulty" molecules. ◆ Evolutionary theory: suggesting that aging is a natural way to limit the reproductive potential and timespan of members of a species.
