Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

C
The division of neoplastic cells is not necessarily rapid. Although some cancers are composed of cells that divide rapidly, others are composed of cells that divide slowly. This statement indicates a need for further teaching.
Malignant cells are unresponsive to the feedback mechanisms that regulate cellular proliferation in healthy tissue; no further teaching is needed.
In the absence of malignancy, tissues remain segregated from one another; cells of one type do not invade territory that belongs to cells of a different type. No further teaching is needed.
Malignant cells are free of the constraints that inhibit invasive growth; no further teaching is needed.
