Question

drag and match when the rate of cell division and growth exceeds the rate of cell death, a tissue begins to enlarge. a tumor, or neoplasm, is a mass or swelling produced by abnormal cell growth and division. match the following terms with the correct descriptions. oncogenes metastasis malignant tumor benign tumor answer mutations that disrupt normal cell regulatory controls spread of the cancer to other areas the cells are no longer confined within the epithelium or a connective tissue capsule but spread into surrounding tissues tumors where the cells usually remain within the tissue where they originated

Explanation:

1. Oncogenes: Genes that can cause cancer when mutated, as they disrupt normal cell regulatory controls. So "Mutations that disrupt normal cell regulatory controls" matches with Oncogenes.
2. Metastasis: The process by which cancer cells spread from the original tumor to other parts of the body. So "Spread of the cancer to other areas" matches with Metastasis.
3. Malignant tumor: Tumors where cells invade surrounding tissues and can metastasize. The description "The cells are no longer confined within the epithelium or a connective tissue capsule but spread into surrounding tissues" fits malignant tumor.
4. Benign tumor: Tumors where cells usually stay within the tissue of origin. So "Tumors where the cells usually remain within the tissue where they originated" matches with Benign tumor.

Answer:

• Mutations that disrupt normal cell regulatory controls: Oncogenes
• Spread of the cancer to other areas: Metastasis
• The cells are no longer confined within the epithelium or a connective tissue capsule but spread into surrounding tissues: Malignant tumor
• Tumors where the cells usually remain within the tissue where they originated: Benign tumor
