Oncogenes can be turned on by inherited changes - ones that are passed down from parent to child - or by cancer-promoting agents that

The aim of the female reproductive system is to produce mature oocytes which match with the male spermatocyte to create offspring. Fertilisation most commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes‚ though this can also occur later in a female’s menstrual cycle if the egg has already moved down into the uterus‚ though there is a higher chance of miscarriage as the lining of the womb may continue to shed. The external female reproduction features have two functions; to allow insemination and to also protect
