Explore the application of parsimony in constructing phylogenetic trees, emphasizing simplicity in scientific explanations and its relation to evolutionary changes. Learn about various options for tree construction and the core concept of choosing the most parsimonious representation
Why Cancer Cells Remain Undifferentiated: Key Characteristics
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Explore the characteristics that distinguish normal cells from cancer cells in this informative video. Learn how normal cells perform specialized functions for overall health, while cancer cells grow uncontrollably. Discover why cancer cells lack differentiation, ignore reproduction control signals, and their connection to the absence of radical scavengers, all leading to their uncontrolled proliferation.
