Question

Which one of the following is not a property of cancerous cells?

• A. They show contact inhibition
• B. They divide uncontrollably
• C. They compete with normal cells
• D. They do not remain confined to the area of origin

Answer 1

The correct option is A They show contact inhibition

Some key features of cancer cells are:

• They compete with normal cells
• They undergo the process of metastasis and form new tumors at new places
• They have no contact inhibition

Therefore, contact inhibition is not a property of a cancer cell.
