Question

9)Does the presence of a tumor have anything to do with the process of apoptosis?

A)The presence of a tumor will inhibit apoptosis, because the cancer cells that make up the tumor can invade the normal cells that trigger apoptosis.

B)Considering the fact, a tumor is present means that a certain cell did not go through apoptosis. Apoptosis is the death of cells that happens as a normal and controlled part of an organism’s growth and development. A tumor is an abnormal growth of tissues (made up of cells). No, the process of apoptosis does not have anything to do with the presence of a tumor because the process did not occur.

C)Yes, apoptosis is a scheduled cell death. This process affects cells that are infected, damaged, or do not function properly anymore. Tumors can arise from the absence of apoptosis when this process fails to initiate in mutated cells that cannot self repair

Explanation / Answer

9.The correct answer would be:

C)Yes, apoptosis is a scheduled cell death. This process affects cells that are infected, damaged, or do not function properly anymore. Tumors can arise from the absence of apoptosis when this process fails to initiate in mutated cells that cannot self repair.

Reason: Oncogenic mutations in cells results in impaired apoptosis of those cells and this results in initiation of tumors.
