    Cancer Cells: The unhealthy number of cells which develops, due to uncontrolled mitosis or division of the parent cell is called as mitosis. As, the genetic material of the cell is targeted by abnormal reproduction process. Cancer cells forms a tissue or an extra unwanted clump of dead or abnormal cells inside the living organisms body, resulting in inhibiting most of the body operations.

    Explanation:

    An abnormal nucleus:

    Due, to controlled mitoses or reproduction of the living cells inside the body, there is difference between the actual size of the nucleus and the materials that are present inside the nucleus. As due to abnormal reproduction process the nucleus then contains extra genetic materials inside its core, leading to enlargement of the nucleus's body as whole.

    Effects on the Cytoplasmic composition:

    After, the abnormality inside the cell reproduction occurs it will cause the abnormal growth and number of the different organelles inside the cytoplasm.

    As, the proteins are produced on abnormal levels as they effect the over all balance inside the living cells. Along with some of the protein body's are totally undifferentiated (the embryonic proteins) causing the abnormality in the structure and growth of cells. As the organelles like mitochondria and other parts of the cytoplasm are developed in an abnormal way or process.

    1 Cancer cells would have enlarged nucleus compared to its normal counterpart

    2. Cytoplasmic mitochondria is larger in cancer cells compared to to its normal counterpart

    3. Cancer cells have a greater undifferentiated embryonic proteins

    4. Against the normal amount of telomerase in the cytoplasm as seen in normal counterpart, cancer cells shows a great number of the protein activity

    5. Since there's rapid growth of cells in cancerous cells, an additional or damaged chromosome will be found abundantly at the nucleus

    6. Cytoplasmic mRNA production is more than its normal counterpart
