As organisms grow and change, they need to produce new cells in order to make more tissues, bones, and muscle tissues. Every minute your body needs to make around three hundred million new cells. However, sometimes these cells encounter outside stimuli that overrides the process of mitosis, in which cells reproduce by, causing cancer. (Mitosis and Cancer) Cancer specifically begins when one cell is converted from a normal cell to a cancer cell and is often due to a change in function or a DNA mutation that occurs in one of several genes that function to control growth.
