Some strains of cancer cells are used quite often in laboratories because they are considered immortal. What unique features of

cancer cells make them immortal? A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely B. Cancer cells do not require access to nutrients or oxygen, so they can grow indefinitely C. They are resistant to mutation and therefore never die D. They are anchorage independent and never need a surface to grow on E. The DNA in cancer cell is not assembled in chromosomes and has no telomeres, which are used as a measure of the "life time" of a cell, so it will never age and divide indefinitely

Answer:

A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely.

Explanation:

Unlike normal cells, telomeres shorten in every cell division until eventually they become too short to protect the chromosomes and the cell dies. Cancer cells reverse the telomeres shortening, and instead, they  lengthen  them, thus they become inmortal.

amm1812
The region which is directly medial to the hypochondriac regions of the body is the epigastric region. It is the upper central part of the abdomen, found in between the subcostal plane and the costal margins. This region is part of the nine regions found in the abdomen. The organs included in this region are the pancreas, liver and the stomach. Also, the adrenal gland, a part of the small intestine, the duodenum is also included. This region is not an organ or a muscle rather it is an area of activity wherein the diaphragm and the rectus abdominus would make an outward bulging of the abdominal wall especially the upper portion.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Zona fasiculata.

Explanation:

Zona fasiculata is present in the middle of the adrenal cortex lies beneath the zona glomerulosa. This layer produces the glucocorticoids especially cortisol that regulates the glucose metabolism.
