What is cancer and why is it bad? Cancer is caused by abnormalities (an abnormal condition or state) in the genetic material of cells (Rice). These abnormalities can be caused under the influence of something like chemicals, radiation, pollutants, and abnormalities that is presented in a person’s body from when they were born or the person may have inherited.

that contain a type of code that makes up certain proteins, in which each has a specific job or function in the human body. Each human cell contains around 25,000 different genes. Genes can have a single mutation or can mutate many ways, in which disease and or cancer can form. Gene mutations can affect human cells in many ways. Some of these mutations stop the proteins from being made over all. Other…
