Crime Severity Index: Refers to a measure of police-reported crime that measures both the volume and seriousness of police-reported crime in Canada.n Canada, there are two complementary ways to measure police-reported crime: the traditional crime rate and the Crime Severity Index. While both measures take into account the volume of police-reported crime, the Crime Severity Index also accounts for the seriousness of the crime.
Cancer cells are different from normal cells. In cancer cells, the genes that control growth are abnormal, causing uncontrolled growth of the cells. The uncontrolled rapid growth of cancer cells leads to formation of cancerous tumor.
Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells. The DNA inside a cell is packaged into a large number of individual genes, each of which contains a set of instructions telling the cell what functions to perform, as well as how to grow and divide.Errors in the instructions can cause the cell to stop its normal function and may allow a cell to become cancerous. gene mutation can instruct a healthy cell to: 1  Allow rapid growth. 2  A gene mutation can tell a cell to grow and divide more rapidly. 3  This creates many new cells that all have that same mutation. 4  Fail to stop uncontrolled cell growth.
