Normal cells become cancer cells when 

• gene mutations cause uncontrolled mitotic division
• cells do not respond normally to control mechanisms
• regulation of cell growth and division is lost
• all of these reasons

As a result of mitosis, each of the two new cells produced from the parent cell during cytokinesis

• receives a few chromosomes from the parent cell
• receives an exact copy of all the chromosomes present in the parent cell
• donates a chromosome to the parent cell
• receives exactly half the chromosomes from the parent cell.
