Mitosis is the process by which cells replicate and divide to form identical daughter cells. The nucleus contains most of the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA packaged into chromosomes - 23 pairs from the mother and 23 from the father, totaling 46. The nucleus is enclosed by a membrane and controls the functions of the cell, while the cell membrane forms the outer boundary and regulates what enters and exits the cell. Cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth and there are over 100 types of cancer with varying symptoms and treatments that may include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
