**Lecture in General Biology 2** Cancer: A Mishap in Cell Division Cancer- is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Tumor- is a swelling of a part of the body, generally without inflammation, caused by an abnormal growth of tissue, whether benign or malignant. Benign tumor- does not spread because it does not affect its surrounding cells. Malignant tumor- severely affects its surrounding cells and can spread to the different body parts. Metastasis- a cancer cell may depart from its original location and travel to the different body parts through the bloodstream. Apoptosis- is the process of self-destruction or programmed cell death. **GENETIC DISORDER ASSOCIATED WITH MEIOSIS** Nondisjunction- is the process where chromosomes or chromatids fail to separate during meiosis. 1. 2. 3. 4. **TURNER SYNDROME** General Characteristics/Symptoms: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Physical Effects: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Cognitive Effects: 1. 2. 3. Diagnosis: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Management: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Scoliosis- sideways curve of the spine. Amniocentesis- is a procedure used to take out a small sample of amniotic fluid for testing. Chorionic villus sampling- prenatal test that involves taking a sample of tissue from the placenta to test for chromosomal abnormalities and other certain genetic problems. Karyotyping- is a test to examine chromosomes in a sample cell. **DOWN SYNDROME** General Characteristics/Symptoms: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.
