1. How do genetic accidents differ from crossing-over and recombination in terms of their roles in genetic variation and stability?
2. What does the term 'genetic clone stability' primarily refer to in cellular biology?
3. What is the primary role of mutations within a clone in the context of genetic diversity?
Genetic accidents — role?
Cause tumor heterogeneity and variation.
Clone — definition?
Group of cells from a single ancestor.
Mutations — effect?
Create genetic diversity within clones.
Clone — definition?
Cells derived from a single ancestor, mostly identical.
Mitotic replication — role?
Duplicates DNA before cell division.
Genetic stability — importance?
Maintains consistent genome across cell generations.
