Answer:
b. Altered chromosomes.
c. Changes in cell surface molecules.
e. Integration of viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into host chromosome.
Explanation:
A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.
A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.
Generally, cells have the ability to independently replicate themselves.
In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles. Some examples of cell organelles found in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include; nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, etc.
Transformed cells refer to cells that have undergone genetic alterations and as such do not experience normal cell processes or characteristics such as differentiation, division, and growth.
The characteristics which are typically associated with transformed cells include the following;
I. Altered chromosomes. Chromosomes are found in the cell nucleus and are comprised of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), histone proteins, etc. Thus, they are used to store genetic informations in living organisms.
II. Changes in cell surface molecules.
III. Integration of viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into host chromosome.
