Which of the following statements is true about cancer cells? (1 point)

Question

• They are not affected by mutations
• They grow and divide uncontrollably
• They undergo differentiation
• They have the same growth rate as normal cells

Answer 1

The true statement about cancer cells is: They grow and divide uncontrollably.

Cancer cells are characterized by uncontrolled growth and division, which is a key factor that distinguishes them from normal cells. They can be affected by mutations, often having numerous mutations that contribute to their unchecked growth. Cancer cells also generally do not undergo differentiation in the same way that normal cells do, and they usually grow at a different rate compared to normal cells.
