Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.

Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.

Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.

Cancer cells are different because they don't enter the G - 0 phase and they are likely to do which of the following Your answer
Allisa [31]

Answer:

c) repeat the cell cycle continuously

Explanation:

Cell division is a normal phenomenon for all cells as this is the way the cell reproduces and gets repaired in living organisms. However, some cells, due to mutation, keeps dividing and proliferating to form tumours. These cells are called CANCER cells. A normal cell undergoes cellular repair at certain checkpoints of the cell cycle. The checkpoints are necessary to determine a faulty cell and stop its division.

However, cancerous cells do not undergo any repair, which is why they do not enter the G0 phase as mentioned in the question. They keep on dividing out of control without death by repeating the cell cycle continuously.

A.

I say this because there are other ways to make DNA in plant cells like adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine so B is out. Though, Mitochondria does break down waste so part of B is right but that would cancel out C. Without Chloroplasts, a plant cannot make food so D is out as well. Hope this helped!
