Preview:
a disease caused by the uncontrolled replication of cells with the ability to migrate to other parts of the body
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. cancer
a segment of DNA responsible for producing proteins that control the expression of other gene(s)
A. regulatory genes
B. pro-oncogenes
C. oncogene
D. tumor suppressor genes
agents which disrupt embryonic development leading to birth defects
A. carcinogens
B. mutagens
C. mutations
D. teratogens
abnormal cells with the ability to invade nearby tissue and migrate to other parts of the body. Also known as cancerous cells
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. cancer
a mutated proto-oncogene that promotes rapid cell growth and replication
A. regulatory genes
B. pro-oncogenes
C. oncogene
D. tumor suppressor genes
a tumour that lacks the ability to spread throughout other tissues and organs
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. cancer
genes responsible for promoting the growth and development of cells. These are precursors of oncogenes
A. regulatory genes
B. pro-oncogenes
C. oncogene
D. tumor suppressor genes
the controlled death of cells in the body. Also known as programmed cell death
A. apoptosis
B. cytokenisis

the migration of tumour cells from the primary tumour site to distant parts of the body
A. tumour
B. benign tumour
C. malignant tumour
D. metastasis
any cell that is not a reproductive cell (such as sperm and egg cells). Somatic cells are diploid (2n), meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes – one inherited from each parent

C. oncogene
D. tumor suppressor genes
changes in the DNA of an individual
A. carcinogens
