Which of the Following Cells Have the Greatest Probability of Developing

Question

Which of the following cells have the greatest probability of developing into cancer?
A) brain cells
B) neurons
C) epithelial cells
D) muscle cells
E) liver cells

Accepted Answer

Epithelial cells are the cells that make up the outer surface of the body, as well as the lining of internal organs and cavities. They have a higher rate of turnover and division than other types of cells, which increases the likelihood of mutations that can lead to the development of cancer. in contrast, brain cells, neurons, muscle cells, and liver cells have lower rates of turnover and division, which means they are less likely to accumulate mutations that can lead to cancer.
