question 4 (mandatory) (2 points)
the spread of cancer cells from one site to others in the body is known as ____

Explanation:

• Question 3: Benign tumors are abnormal cell growths that do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors are cancerous and can invade and spread. Metastatic refers to the spread of cancer (which is a property of malignant tumors). Carcinogenic means causing cancer. Repressed is not related to the nature of cell division in this context.
• Question 4: Cleavage is related to cell division in early embryos (like in mitosis of zygote in animals), not the spread of cancer cells. The spread of cancer cells from one site to others in the body is called metastasis.

Answer:

• Question 3: B. benign
• Question 4: Metastasis (assuming the options for question 4 were cut - off, but based on the description, the answer is metastasis)
