1

Genetic disease in somatic cells results from __ or _.

1

( Benign, Malignant ) tumor: Results from unregulated cell growth that forms a multicellular mass
removed by surgery, causing no serious harm

( Malignant, Benign ) tumor: Results from metastasized cells invading other tissue and causing life-threatening problems.

1

__________: originated from a common ancestral cell that accumulated numerous specific mutations

1

All cancer cells in primary and secondary tumors are clonal

1

Many scientists believe that MOST cells within tumors proliferate, which is why it is so dangerous.
