Part 3
Mitosis Reading
Liver cancer cases in East Valley, Ohio, have been rising since a train derailment spilled harmful chemicals. Some of these chemicals, like vinyl chloride, can be dangerous to humans. Your task is to investigate whether the derailment is linked to the increase in cancer cases. How might people have been exposed to these chemicals? What evidence would show a connection? What other information would scientists need to be sure? Use your research to explain whether the chemicals from the derailment could be causing the higher cancer rates.

New Vocabulary
Mitosis: A single cell divides into two genetically identical cells. Mitosis is used for growth, repair, embryonic development and asexual reproduction.
Parent Cell: The original cell before it divides during mitosis.
Daughter Cell: Either of the two cells made after mitosis. Genetically identical to parent cell.
Cancer: Out of control mitosis. Abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and go beyond their usual boundaries to invade parts of the body and/or spread to other organs
Image of cancer spreading to the blood, where it can start growing in other parts of the body.
