Answer: The correct answer is -

D) They are not regulated by contact inhibition.

Explanation:

Cancer cells are the rapidly proliferating cells that divide even without the presence of growth factors. They do not obey the property of contact inhibition (unlike normal cells, which stop dividing when they come in contact with each other).

In other words, cancer cells form disorganized multilayer of cells, which can not be regulated. As a consequence, they can even cross the blood vessels to other body organs ( a process that is called metastatis).

Thus, option D) is the best statement that describes cancer cells.

Reil [10]

Answer:

leaves more viable offspring than others of its species

Explanation:

Greater fitness is being conferred on an individual organism compared to the other individual member of a species population if that individual does not only just competes favorably for the limited resources available than the rest individuals, but is in fact able to reproduce more rapidly and thereby pass on such favorable traits, which makes them better competitors, to as many of their offspring as possible. Over time, you will find most of the offspring they leave behind more common in the population than the other.

If an individual organism is referred to as having a greater fitness compared to another individual of the same species, what it simply means is that the organism <em>leaves more viable offspring than others of its species</em>.

How do organisms grow​
aalyn [17]

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this amazing day. Organisms grow, but only certain organisms are capable of growing. The meaning of growing is "to get bigger/expand" and the way that multicellular cells grow is by making more cells. Plants also have special tissues called "Meristems" where the growing process happens. Single celled organisms (unicellular organisms) increase their numbers by "dividing" and making more cells like themselves.

I hope that this helps! :3
