Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Cancer is caused by damage to genes regulating the cell division cycle. It results due to an uncontrolled growth of the cells. The cancer cells show uncontrolled cell growth. They have lost cell differentiation ability. They also do not show contact inhibition. All these make the cancer cells immortal. Hence, these are virtually immortal until the body in which they resides dies. Thus, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.'
