- What is one way mitosis is different from meiosis? O Mitosis produces two cells with 46 chromosomes O Mitosis makes new cells but meiosis does not. O Mitosis has prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase and osis does not. O Meiosis start with 46 chromosomes but mitosis does not.arrow_forwardThe one of the “hallmarks of cancer" cells is they retain their ability to regulate the cell cycle.

For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a b C d Epithelial cells line the outer surfaces (skin) of the body. Epithelial cells overexpress signaling pathways that drive the cell cycle forward. Epithelial cells come into frequent contact with cancer-causing substances from the environment. Epithelial cells are continually turned over and thus continue to divide.arrow_forwardIdentify if the statement is True or False. If the statement is false, identify what is incorrect and correct it. Cellular adaptation often refer to reversible changes in size, number, phenotype or appearance, metabolic activity or functions of cells in response to adverse environmental conditions or internal bodily stresses Pathologic Hyperplasia refers to an abnormal increase in the number of cells, which are in a normal component of that tissue and are arranged in a normal fashion with subsequent enlargement of the affected part.arrow_forwardCells can become cancerous for many reasons. Regardless of how they become cancerous, the same general pattern is followed. Put the steps of cancer development in order from first to last. 1. A cell begins to grow and divide uncontrollably.2. The cell metastasizes and moves through the bloodstream, spreading throughout the body.3. Part of the tumor breaks off and is now malignant.4. The benign tumor is confined to one place.5. A small mass forms, called a tumor.arrow_forward
