Question

How has the study of mitosis affected scientists’ knowledge of cancer?

Answer 1

Through studying the process of mitosis, the scientists gained knowledge of cancer. The study led into a wider understanding of cancer because it led to an apprehension on how cancer cells divide and split into two so rapidly. 

Answer 2

Answer;

c. It led to the development of contact-inhibition regulators.

Explanation;

-While normal cells possess mechanisms that inhibit proliferation when conditions are inappropriate, tumor cells circumvent these mechanisms and continue proliferating.

-Contact inhibition is a process of arresting cell growth when cells come in contact with each other. As a result, normal cells stop proliferating when they form a monolayer in a culture dish. Contact inhibition is a powerful anticancer mechanism that is lost in cancer cells.
