A group of extreme cancer cells different types of tissue that work together for one function can be for organ or tissue cancer cells will divide even if they dont recieve a signal when a cell comes in contact with another cell than it is time for it to stop dividing-Contact Inhibition the nucleus is the brain of a cell nucleus has the chromosome and the DNA--&gt; humans have 46 chromosomes all cancer comes from change in the DNA proto-oncogene- has the information to trigger cell division. when this gene is damaged it is called a oncogene tumorsupressors are like the brakes apoptosis-is like cell suicide and the cell will kill itself because it is so damaged UVA is the type of light tanning beds have and this can cause skin cancer because of tanning beds more people are getting skin cancer
 * the cell divides without a signal to do so
 * so like the gas pedal in a car is down without the foot pushing on the pedal
