Question

what is one potential outcome of a mutation in one of the two copies of RAS

Answer 1

malignant tumor is more dangerous than a benign tumor because
(a) its cells are proliferating faster.
(b) it metastasizes by traveling through the digestive tract.
(c) it causes neighboring cells to mutate.
(d) its cells attack and phagocytose neighboring normal tissue cells.
(e) its cells invade other tissues.

Answer 2

If the cells are not cancerous, then the tumor is called benign. It won't invade the nearby tissues or spread to other areas of the body or metastasize. A benign tumor is less risky unless it is pressing on nearby tissues, nerves, or blood vessels and causing damage. Fibroids in the uterus or lipomas are few examples of benign tumors.
