5. Every type of cancer is different
True
False
6. Apoptosis:
A. Is unregulated in mammals
B. Is inactive in cancer cells
C. Is inactive in undifferentiated cells
D. Is a requirement for cancer cells to grow
E. Is less likely to occur when there is significant DNA damage
7. Telomeres:
A. Are found in all organisms
B. Are strongly linked to ageing in cancer cells
C. Can be reconstructed in cancer cells
D. Are not found in embryonic stem cells
E. Can reconstruct themselves independently
8. A growing mass of cancer cells is known as:
A. Carcinome
B. Malignatome
C. Tumour
D. Cell Mass
E. Deformed Growth Mass
9.Increased organ size from cancer can be lethal because:
A. It may lead to failure of the organ due to essential enzymes not being able to enter
B. It may lead to failure of the organ due to reduced immunity
C. It may lead to failure of the organ as the cancer cells may enlarge and squash neighbouring healthy cells
D. The organ may begin to protrude from the body
E. The organ would be unable to produce chondriol for surrounding tissue
10. Essential proteins often check the cell for errors at the G1/S phase boundary. While ________________ can halt the cell cycle, __________can also check DNA for errors as well as regulate apoptosis.

C. Oncogenes, p53
D. p53, Retinoblastoma
E. Retinoblastoma, G-breaker transferase
11. Tumour formation can result from:

B. Diet
C. Exposure to benzopyrene
D. Errors in signalling the end of cell division
E. Stem cells failing to produce one non-stem cell daughter
F. Daughter cells failing to differentiate

True
False
16. Which of the following is incorrect?
A. Contact inhibition of growth is present in normal cells but absent in cancer cells

C. Normal cells have high growth factor requirement while cancer has low growth factor requirement
D. Karyotype profiling is abnormal in cancer cells
E. Cell cycle checkpoints are intact in normal cells but not in cancer
F. Cancer cells have a definite proliferative life span (i.e. They are not immortal)
