Answer: Bundles of axons in the central nervous system are called a "tract"

Explanation:

Axons(nerve fiber) consist of long slender projection of neurons or nerve cells that conduct and transmit impulses away from the neuron or nerve cell body. Axons are surrounded by endoneurium layer which contain protein fluid that surround each axon.

Bundles of axon in the CNS is known as tract. We have ascending tracts and descending tracts. The ascending tracts function are to conduct and carry impulses along the spinal cord to the brain while the descending tracts transmit and carry the impulses from the brain to lower regions (downward) of the body. Tracts are identified by their origin (where the bundle start) and also the end/termination of axon bundle.

The largest tracts are fasciculi gracilis and cuneatus which are known as ascending tracts.

kherson [118]

The correct answer is that it becomes cancer cells.  

Mitosis refers to the kind of cell differentiation, which leads to the formation of two daughter cells, and each comprising the same type and amount of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, generally of ordinary tissue growth.  

The process of mitosis should be error free as otherwise healthy cells can turn into cancer cells. Cancer is basically a disorder of mitosis, in this case, the usual checkpoints, which are monitoring mitosis are overridden or ignored by the cancer cells.  

Cancer initiates when a single cell is converted or transformed into a normal cell to a cancer cell and is generally taking place due to a modification in function of one of many genes, which usually work to monitor growth, like p53 gene or tumor suppressor gene.
