Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Lung cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of normal lung cells. Which process is not regulated in the cancerous cells?
A
meiosis
B
mitosis
C
fertilization
D
transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rather than responding to the signals that cause normal cells to cease proliferation and enter G0, tumor cells generally continue growing to high cell densities in culture, mimicking their uncontrolled proliferation in vivo.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lung cancer develops when normal lung cells change, or mutate, in a way that alters their natural growth and death cycle, resulting in unregulated cell division that produces too many cells. The rapidly dividing cells do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells or develop into healthy lung tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Disruption of normal regulation of the cell cycle can lead to diseases such as cancer. When the cell cycle proceeds without control, cells can divide without order and accumulate genetic errors that can lead to a cancerous tumor .

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis: Anaphase Also lines our hollow or tube-like organs/tissues such as the digestive tract. Since these tissues are often exposed to environmental insults such as chemicals and solar radiation and are often divide rapidly to replace lost cells, many cancers arise in epithelial tissues.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cancers, however, occur due to an alteration of a normal biological process-cell division. Cells that progress through the cell cycle unchecked may eventually form malignant tumors, where masses of cells grow and divide uncontrollably, then develop the ability to spread and migrate throughout the body.
