Normal cells go through only a certain amount of divisions, while HeLa cells go through so many, which is why Lacks' cells have been continuing to grow so rapidly. Normal cells go through mitosis while the HeLa cells continue to multiply and grow. Normal cells have the typical set of chromosomes while cancer cells have a unique set of chromosomes. This is why sometimes the cells do not forego the normal and controlled mechanisms. When the regular process of mitosis is changed, the cells go through a change as well and become cancer cells. They then multiply without the normal mechanisms.

the cell cycle has a process that makes sure the correct genetic material has been copied. The G1 phase checks for any errors that may have occurred, ensuring that a normal cell division occurs. CDKs (regulated by cyclins), control the cell growth and cancel out any damaged cells. However, if these protein do not function normally, mutations can occur when the genes become abnormal and unstable, allowing errors to occur in genetic material. This occurred in the cell cycle of Lacks' cells, resulting in uncontrolled cell division.
You had a very good explanation as to what differs between a HeLa cell and a normal cell. I liked how you compared both cells.The pictures used in your blog were very clear pictures. Your blog overall was very well written and you had good explanation and was clear and concise.
