Answer:

cancer is uncontrolled cell growth

Step-by-step explanation:

it relates to mitosis because "Cancer is essentially a disease of mitosis - the normal 'checkpoints' regulating mitosis are ignored or overridden by the cancer cell. Cancer begins when a single cell is transformed, or converted from a normal cell to a cancer cell"
