question 1 (1 point)
cancer would best be described as:
a normal cell growth
b a well regulated cell cycle
c an infectious disease that can spread from person to person
d uncontrolled cell growth

Explanation:

To determine the correct description of cancer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Normal cell growth is regulated and not cancerous, so a is incorrect.
• Option b: A well - regulated cell cycle is characteristic of normal cells, not cancer cells (which have a disrupted cell cycle), so b is incorrect.
• Option c: Cancer is not an infectious disease that spreads from person to person (most cancers are not contagious), so c is incorrect.
• Option d: Cancer is defined by the uncontrolled growth and division of cells, so d is the correct description.

Answer:

d. uncontrolled cell growth
