Cell Development

Question 1

Cell Differentiation

Answer 1

• Specialization of cells in their functional form
• The structural and functional variation is caused by selective gene expression
• This allows cells with the same genetic information to have vastly different functions

Question 2

Cancer

Answer 2

-Abnormal or uncontrolled cell growth due to cells losing their contact inhibition

Question 3

Neoplasia

Answer 3

New growth (Undesired)

Question 4

Hyperplasia

Answer 4

Fast or uncontrolled growth

Question 5

Anaplasia

Answer 5

Growth of abnormal (Undifferentiated) cells

Question 6

Metastasis

Answer 6

• Spreading of cancer cell from their site of origin
• Death from cancer occurs due to these fast-growing, usually nonfunctional cells blocking blood flow and consuming excessive amount of nutrients
