Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The presence of telomere caps gives cancer cells the ability to divide over and over again, thus cancer cells have unlimited mitosis. Telomere caps do not give cells clonal distinction. Mutation capability is a characteristic of cancer cells, but this property is not related to telomeres.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Liver and germ cell tumors secrete a protein known as AFP, not catecholamines. Prostate tumors secrete prostate-specific antigen. Homovanillic acid is a catecholamine marker.
