Question

(1 of 2)
which of the following are things that were similar between normal cell division and cancerous cell division shown in the video? choose all that apply.
□they both went through the same stages of the cell cycle.
□they both occurred at the same speed.
□they both produced two cells from one parent cell.
□they both produced cells of similar size as the parent cells.
□they both created a uniform surface of the tissues with no lumps or bumps.

Explanation:

• They both went through the same stages of the Cell Cycle: Both normal and cancerous cells go through stages like interphase (with G1, S, G2), mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase), and cytokinesis.
• They both produced two cells from one parent cell: Both normal and cancerous cell division (in the case of mitosis - which is relevant here as cancer cells often divide via mitosis - like normal somatic cells) results in two daughter cells from a single parent cell.

• They both occurred at the same speed: Cancer cells divide much faster than normal cells. For example, normal cells have checkpoints that regulate the speed of the cell cycle, and cancer cells often have mutations that bypass these checkpoints, speeding up division.
• They both produced cells of similar size as the parent cells: Cancer cells can be smaller or larger than normal parent cells. Cancer cells may not grow properly (in terms of cell - size regulation) during the cell cycle stages like normal cells do.
• They both created a uniform surface of the tissues with no lumps or bumps: Cancerous cell division leads to tumors (lumps or bumps in tissues), while normal cell division maintains tissue integrity and a relatively uniform tissue structure.

Answer:

They both went through the same stages of the Cell Cycle, They both produced two cells from one parent cell.
