+Decoding the Genetic Code:
++ DNA >> RNA >> Protein
++ DNA & RNA both have 4 different types of nucleotides
++ Proteins are mode of amino acides. There are 20 different kinds of amino acides.
++ mRNA (the product of transcription) must be read 3 letters at a time in order to account for all
+  the amino acid possibilities
+
++ codon: sequence of three mRNA bases
++ start codon: AUG
++ stop codon:
+
++ ribosome - site of protein synthesis
++ tRNA - RNA that brings an amino acid to a ribosome (t = transfer)
++ anticodon - sequence of three tRNA bases that is complementary to a mRNA codon

+prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.

+prophase: chromosomes condense
+metaphase: chromosomes line up at the middle
+
+* Cancer Cells
++ Lost control over growth and division
++ Don't self-destruct when worn out or damaged
++ Pile up and can break away and form new tumors in other parts of the body (metastasis)
++ Don't do their jobs
++ Crowd out the healthy cells and prevent them from doing their jobs
+
+** Genes that cause cancer
++ Proto-oncogene - promotes cell division (gas pedal)
++ Oncogene (mutated proto-oncogenes) - promotes excessive cell divison (gas pedal stuck)
++ Tumor suppressor gene - normally inhibit cell division (brakes). when mutated, brakes don't work.
++ Usually more than one mutation (likely of each type) required to cause cancer

+P53 (tumor suppressor gene) mutations identified in >50% of all human tumor cells

+** Cancer causing mutations can be inherited
+*** Familial Cancers
++ Very rare, less than 15% of cancers
++ Gene mutations can be inherited from either or both parents
++ All of the cells in the body will have that mutation
++ Familiial cancer genes: APC (colon cancer), CRCA-1 and BRCA-2 (breast cancer + others), p16 (skin cancer)
