Genetic accidents — role?
Cause tumor heterogeneity and variation.
Clone — definition?
Cells derived from a single ancestor, mostly identical.
Clone — definition?
Group of cells from a single ancestor.
Mitotic replication — role?
Duplicates DNA before cell division.
Mutations — effect?
Create genetic diversity within clones.
Genetic stability — importance?
Maintains consistent genome across cell generations.
Mutations — effect on clones?
Create genetic diversity within a clone.
Sub-clone — origin?
Arises from mutations within a clone.
Genetic accident — example?
Mutation or chromosomal aberration during division.
Mutations in tumors — consequence?
Cause heterogeneity, affecting gene regulation.
