Question

How has the study of mitosis affected scientists’ knowledge of cancer?
A. It led to a study of how to induce cancer cells to divide more rapidly.
B. It led to an understanding of how cancer cells divide so rapidly.
C. It led to the development of contact-inhibition regulators.
D. It led to the discovery of how to prevent cancer cells from dividing.

Answer 1

Answer:

It led to an understanding of how cancer cells divide so rapidly.

Explanation:

Answer 2

• The correct answer is b) It led to an understanding of how cancer cells divide so rapidly.
• Scientists want the cancerous cell to multiply at a slower pace. Hence, option (a) is wrong.
• Option (c) does not relate to the process of mitosis; instead, it informs about the contact inhibition in cancerous cells.
• We haven't found a way to prevent the cancer cells from dividing. Hence, option (d) is also wrong.
