104. What is “to kill cancer cells”?
Final Jeopardy Answer
What is “to kill cancer cells”?
(These treatments target all cells in mitosis. They destroy the DNA of these cells or damage the dividing cell in other ways, causing the cell to die. Therefore, these treatments kill all cells that are dividing at that time. Most of these cells are cancerous, but other cells that are dividing will be killed as well.)
