@communist-hatsunemiku i misclicked and deleted the ask 😔
this is the video i got most of that info from
as your cells divide the dna can get fucked up due to mutations and usually that’s fine, dna is degenerative and so multiple combinations can code for the same thing to mitigate mutations but sometimes u can get so fucked over that a nessicary part of your dna becomes corrupted, say for example, the part that tells your cell to stop replicating
cancer is just when this happens, and the cell keeps replicating and making more copies of a corrupt cells, creating a tumor. these tumors of corse block things like blood vessels or can spread to places we really don’t want them to be
going back to the fact that blue whales are really big and their cells are really small, this means that they would need a REALLY big tumour to start to be affected. and so a small tumour keeps growing and growing, it’s cells replicating until wait. a mutation!
cancer cells are still body cells and thus just as susceptible to mutations. this means that they are able to fuck up and mutate to the point that suddenly, they start attacking themselves or stop replicating at all (not sure which it is i havnt seen the video for a while). Thus a tumour will destroy itself before it becomes a problem
