Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 3TYU
One difference between cancer cells and normal cells is that cancer cells
(A) are unable to synthesize DNA.
(B) are arrested at the S phase of the cell cycle.
(C) continue to divide even when they are tightly packed together.
(D) cannot function properly because they are affected by density-dependent inhibition.

Which scenario could explain how such a multinucleated cell might have come to be? (a) The cell underwent repeated mitosis with simultaneous cytokinesis. (b) The cell had multiple S phases before it entered mitosis. (c) The cell underwent repeated mitosis, but cytokinesis did not occur. (d) The cell underwent repeated cytokinesis but no mitosis. (e) The cell actually went through meiosis and not mitosis.
