Cancer week two

This week, our main focus is to be finalizing our research papers and checking in with our teacher. We also watched some videos giving some background on how cancer forms. Cancer usually forms from multiple mutations in cancer - suppressor genes. This transforms proto- oncogenes into oncogenes or cancer genes. 

^here are some of the ways these mutations can happen. 

Then we also learned about the RAS gene and the P53 gene that help control the crazy cell division that causes cancer.
