Question
Chapter 42, Problem 3CT
Summary Introduction
To explain: Tumors from germ cells contain any type of tissue, whereas the tumors from somatic cells have only limited number of tissues.
Concept introduction: Uncontrolled growth of cells due to the defects in the cell cycle results in tumors. Tumors can be benign or malignant. The gastrula has three germ layers. The germ layers undergo organogenesis to form the organ systems, and finally form the complete organism.
