Mitosis is closely controlled by the genes inside every cell. Sometimes this control can go wrong.

If that happens in just a single cell, it can replicate itself to make new cells that are also out of control. These are cancer cells.

They continue to replicate rapidly without the control systems that normal cells have.

Cancer cells will form lumps, or tumours, that damage the surrounding tissues. Sometimes, cancer cells break off from the original tumour and spread in the blood to other parts of the body.

When a tumour spreads to another part of the body it is said to have metastasised.

They continue to replicate and make more tumours. These are called secondary tumours.

So the answer should be A.) mitosis

If the endoplasmic reticulum were removed from the cell, which organelle would not be able to function properly, and why? mitoch
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER

Explanation:

The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is to produce proteins. It can be smooth or rough. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes, which make the proteins.

The Golgi apparatus receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and modifies and sorts them. They are then concentrated and packed into vesicles which are released out of the cell membrane.

If the endoplasmic reticulum is removed, proteins cannot be made and the Golgi apparatus would not be able to perform its job.

Hope that helps.
