During a biology class, Michael learned that cancer creates abnormal cells by disrupting

• the regulation of cell cycle

• red blood cell formation

• DNA replication

• ATP synthesis

Answer explanation

Cancer disrupts the regulation of the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell division and the formation of abnormal cells. This choice correctly identifies the primary mechanism by which cancer develops.

Which of the following best explains what cancer is and how it is related to the cell cycle?

• Cells that have been stopped at G0 and are no longer dividing

• Unregulated cell division, where cells grow and divide much quicker than they normally would

• Mutated cells that do not grow or divide as efficiently as they normally would

• None of the above

How does cancer relate to the cell cycle?

• Cancer cells undergo cell division at a slower rate than normal cells.

• Cancer cells can bypass cell cycle checkpoints.

• Cancer cells cannot replicate DNA.

• Cancer cells are more likely to undergo apoptosis.
