Question

how do i summaries it in my own words (no plagiarism)????
Immature cells and stem cells are more likely
than specialized cells to go ahead and divide
if their chromosomes are entangled, making
them naturally more prone to becoming
cancerous, say researchers.
Timothy Bestor of Columbia University
in New York and his colleagues studied
multipotent progenitor cells — which divide
to give rise to more specialized cells — in
humans and mice. They used a drug to
block the action of an enzyme that normally
disentangles chromosomes, and found that a
greater proportion of progenitor cells.
Cells that divide regardless produce daughters with damaged and abnormal
chromosomes. The research team suggests that such aberrations could help to give rise to cancer stem cells, a subset of tumour cells thought to be the driving force in cancer development.

Answer 1

I'd recommend just using the source, use their wording and at the end of it put in parenthesis the author of the article or whatever you got it from as well as the page number, or line number. and make a works cited page

Answer 2

my teacher told me not to use that, he told me to rewrite it in my own words...

Answer 3

Alright, then I'd rewrite it as "According to Timothy Bestor and his colleagues of Columbia University, unlike specialized cells, immature and stem cells tend to have a larger chance to divide if the chromosomes in them are entangled, which causes them to be more likely to be cancerous"

Answer 4

oh okay i get this part how about the second part "cell that divide....."

Answer 5

"Daughters with damaged and abnormal chromosomes are inevitably created when cells split. Bestor's team claims that these deviations have a possibility to rise a set of tumor cells that is contained within a larger set of similar cells, which is presumed to be a major force in the development of cancer"

Answer 6

this is kind of hard to understand since the middle part of the paragrph is missing. how would i write it in a complete paragraph....
thank you in advance, you are a big help

Answer 7

In full it'd be: "According to Timothy Bestor and his colleagues of Columbia University, unlike specialized cells, immature and stem cells tend to have a larger chance to divide if the chromosomes in them are entangled, which causes them to be more likely to be cancerous. Bestor and his colleagues looked at cells that divide to give rise to cells that are more specialized known as multipotent progenitor cells. Using a drug to obstruct the attempt of an enzyme that typically disentangles chromosomes, and discovered in that, a larger amount of progenitor cells. Daughters with damaged and abnormal chromosomes are inevitably created when cells split. Bestor's team claims that these deviations have a possibility to rise a set of tumor cells that is contained within a larger set of similar cells, which is presumed to be a major force in the development of cancer"

Answer 8

thank you so much!!!

Answer 9

Tip: beside adding sources, try finding synonyms for words (I've done it and it changes the essay COMPLETELY! ) Also try looking at words or sentences you don't HAVE to add there. :)

Answer 10

thank you DaniB for you tip i will try to follow it

Answer 11

:) no problem! Im here to help :) @saria
