One Difference Between Cancer Cells and Normal Cells is That

Question

One difference between cancer cells and normal cells is that cancer cells
A)are unable to synthesize DNA.
B)are arrested at the S phase of the cell cycle.
C)continue to divide even when they are tightly packed together.
D)cannot function properly because they are affected by density-dependent inhibition.
E)are always in the M phase of the cell cycle.

Accepted Answer

Normal cells typically stop dividing when they come into contact with other cells or when they are in crowded conditions (known as density-dependent inhibition). Cancer cells, however, ignore these signals and continue to divide and grow, even when they are tightly packed together.
