These cells have lost the ability to follow the normal controlled directions

Some times it happens naturally/unknown reasons, but sometimes the things we do cause it…like sun tanning or smoking.

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS NOW? Well, because we are learning about cells and soon we will be learning about disease, but also because…
