Sporadic cancer is cancer by chance, there is no relative with the same type of cancer. Familial Cancer, on the other hand, is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Hereditary cancer, moreover, happens when a defective gene is passed from parent to child. Breast and ovarian cancer fall under hereditary cancer though it does not mean that if either of the parents have these types of cancer, the offspring will definitely acquire it. If either of the parents has the defective gene for breast or ovarian cancer, the offspring has higher chances of having the aforementioned cancer.

Growth in non-living substances such as crystal is at the cost of material similar to that of which it consists. Same substance is added without conversion. </span>
<span>The growth is permanent, irreversible process in living organisms but can be reversed in non-living things. </span>
<span>Growth is different in different parts of the body of an organism. Growth is uniform throughout in the non-living things. </span>

<span>Respiration, nutrition,excretion, movement,irritability, reproduction, life span, death, evolvability are other properties of a living organism.</span>
