Question

Enumerate two properties of cancer cells that distinguish them from normal cell.

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Cancer cells grow and divide at an abnormally rapid rate, are poorly differentiated, and have abnormal membranes, cytoskeletal proteins, and morphology.
• Limitless replicative potential.

Answer 2

Answer:

Properties of cancer cells that distinguish them from normal cell are:

• When there are enough cells, normal cells stop multiplying (reproducing). Cancer cells, on the other hand, do not cease proliferating once there are enough cells. A tumour (a collection of cancer cells) is typically developed as a result of this ongoing expansion.
• Cancer cells do not communicate with other cells in the same way that healthy cells do.

Explanation:

• When normal cells are harmed or become old, they either repair themselves or die (apoptosis). Cancer cells do not undergo apoptosis or are not repaired.
• When a sufficient number of cells are present, normal cells stop reproducing. Cancer cells multiply quickly before they have a chance to develop.
