Answer to Question 1

Cancer begins when the DNA in a cell undergoes a mutation that results in the loss of regulated cell division. The mutated cell may undergo a physical change, or dysplasia. The mutated cell may take on a more permanent physical change, or anaplasia, and form a cluster of nonfunctional cells called a tumor or neoplasm. The tumors can be benign (slow growing and not invasive) or they can grow quickly and spread, becoming malignant and cancerous.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: A) Abdomin/o- means abdomen.

C) Correct
D) Gastr/o- means stomach.
