CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cancer cells can reproduce rapidly because they
A
are smaller than normal cells
B
skip interphase
C
undergo mitosis more slowly
D
spend less time in interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cancer cells spend less time in interphase and reproduce rapidly before the cells have had a chance to mature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike healthy cells, cancer cells don’t carry on maturing or become so specialised. Cells mature so that they are able to carry out their function in the body. This process of maturing is called differentiation. In cancer, the cells often reproduce very quickly and don’t have a chance to mature.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell usually spends most of its time in interphase and spends a very small amount of time in actual cell dividing phases. However, cancer cells are in a rapid state of cell division and spend much more time out of interphase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Normal Cells spend most of their time in Interphase. Cancer Cells spend most of their time in Mitosis.
