<view this essay>.... the DNA molecule (DNA is considered a single molecule) is the base. There are four different bases found in deoxyribonucleic acid. These bases connect together into a long chain of bases to form the DNA molecule (much like pearls connect together to form a pearl necklace). The names of these four bases are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. Conventionally the bases are abbreviated as A, C, G, and T (respectively) for simplicity reasons. At the smallest level, DNA is organized into a double helix. The DNA helix is then repeatedly coiled to allow more of it to fit into a compact space. This helix replicates and passes on its information to the body's cells .....

Just because a doctor has taken out the main tumor doesn't mean that the cancer cells are completely gone. They're too small to see, so doctors can't tell if they have taken it all out or not. So, just to be sure, doctors usually take out a lot of the healthy tissue surrounding the area. This could damage the person's system and their appearance. Also, cancer sometimes forms around structures that can't be taken out, like an organ. In these cases, surgery alone is basically useless.

Static Electricity
