  • Options
  • A. there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms leading to formation of benign and malignant tumors
  • B. controlled cell divisionand over-production of genetic material occur
  • C. RNA is mutated and produced in less amount
  • D. DNA is mutated and produced in less amount

  • Correct Answer
  • there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms leading to formation of benign and malignant tumors 

    Explanation

    In cancer cells, there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms. Normal cells show a property called contact inhibition by virtue of which contact with other cells inhibits their uncontrolled growth. Cancer cells appears to have lost this property. As a result of this, cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Tumors are of two types: benign and malignant.
