_____ 1. Using data provided in the table above, what conclusion can be made about a possible survival advantage of cancer cells over normal cells?
a. cancer cells lose their ability to grow and reproduce
b. cancer cells grow to be much bigger than normal cells
c. cancer cells reproduce much more quickly than normal cells
d. cancer cells go through a different type of cell division than normal cells
_____ 2. Scientists have found that the cells within a tumor that are cancerous tend to experience “survival of the fittest”. This means that
a. only the biggest and strongest cells survive
b. cancer cells can acquire the characteristics they need to survive
c. cancer cells with adaptive mutations out-compete their neighbors
d. all cancer cells that develop in a tumor survive because they are fit
____ 3. Cancer cells develop as a result of genetic mutations. This means that:
a. cancer cells lose their cell nuclei
b. cancer cells invade the nuclei of normal cells
c. the process of cell division has gone haywire
d. there has been permanent change in their DNA sequence
