Question

A) Benign
B) Malignant
C) Carcinogenic
D) Oncogenic
E) Transduction

Accepted Answer

Malignant tumors have the ability to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body, which is known as metastasis. Benign tumors, in contrast, do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Carcinogenic and oncogenic refer to substances or agents that can cause cancer, while transduction refers to a genetic process.
