Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1TOF
Summary Introduction
To Determine:
If the given statement is true or false.
Introduction:
The mass of tissue that is formed by the accumulation of abnormal cells is termed a tumor. In a normal and healthy body, cells undergo programmed cell death termed as apoptosis. In this process, old cells die, and new cells are formed. Tumors are formed due to the disruption in apoptosis and cell cycle. The cells of the tumor grow continuously and do not die, resulting in health issues.
