Question

Malignant cancer cells have all of the following properties except

• A. unregulated cell division
• B. inhibition of angiogenesis
• C. resistance to apoptosis
• D. cellular immortality

Hint:

Cancer cells induce angiogenesis to obtain nutrients and oxygen for uncontrolled growth.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Properties of malignant cells.
Malignant cancer cells are characterized by:
- Unregulated/continuous cell division.
- Ability to resist apoptosis (programmed cell death).
- Cellular immortality (no replicative senescence).
- Induction of angiogenesis to provide blood supply for rapid growth.
Step 2: Identifying the exception.
Since malignant cells promote (not inhibit) angiogenesis, the incorrect option is “inhibition of angiogenesis.”
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{inhibition of angiogenesis}} \]
