Summary Introduction
To Determine:
Whether the given statement is true or false.
Introduction:
Mitosis is defined as a process in which a single cell show division and forms two identical daughter cells. It is a type of cell division. The daughter cells are genetically similar to the parent cell. Mitosis consists of five different stages. It involves the centriole organelle.

- In typical women of reproductive age, the epithelial cells lining the uterus (the endometrium) die and are shed from the body roughly once every month, in the process of menstruation.

This type of tumor is benign in 60% of cases and is malignant in the other 40% of cases. Mr. X’s remaining lifetime will depend on the type of tumor (benign or malignant) and on the decision whether or not to remove the tumor. The table below shows the estimates of Mr. X’s remaining lifetime according to the most up-to-date information known about this type of tumor. Tumor Leave tumor Remove tumor Benign 8 5 Malignant 1 5 Dr. Y could perform exploratory surgery before deciding whether or not to remove the tumor to assess the status of the tumor better. Exploratory surgery indicates a benign tumor 75% of the time if the tumor is indeed benign. The surgery is known to indicate a malignant tumor 65% of the time if the tumor is indeed malignant.
