What makes a cell with leukemia function differently from a healthy cell?

Answer 1

A DISORDER IN ITS PROPERTIES. FOR DETAILS ASK TO YOUR BIO-TEACHER.

Answer 2

a organism

leukemia cells attack the white blood cells in the body. This is the reason why people with leukemia have less count of white blood cells that red blood cells. Having an abnormally higher rate of WBC than RBC(red blood cells) is very dangerous for the body hence, people with leukemia die.

Answer 3

Uncontrolled cell division makes leukemia function differently from a healthy cell. Leukemia is a type of cancer. Cells of leukemia are immortal cells(=proliferates continuously). And oncogenes, which are products of mutation, are responsible for cancer.

Answer 4

leukemia cells attack the white blood cells in the body. This is the reason why people with leukemia have less count of white blood cells that red blood cells. Having an abnormally higher rate of WBC than RBC(red blood cells) is very dangerous for the body hence, people with leukemia die.

Answer 5

Krishna (spell check) is referring to autoimmunity. Leukemia, like all cancers, is a completely different beast that relys on uncontrolled cell proliferation and unresponsiveness to death signals. Autoimmunity, on the other hand is a result of the failure of our immune system to delete or tolerize an autoreactive lymphocyte. This is one of the greatest dilemma in immunology, how the body seemingly performs this function throughout the lifetime of the organism.

Answer 6

leukemia is wbc which has lost its control of dividing so it divides continuosly where as normal cell will have check points

Answer 7

basically those cells take a very long time to die when compared to the normal cells.
