Question 2 • Biology

Why are immortal cell lines important for biological research?

Answer
A
They grow larger than normal cells so that they can divide into multiple cells.
B
They have two nuclei, allowing them to divide faster than normal cells.
C
They can replicate indefinitely and do not experience natural cell death.
D
They grow spontaneously rather than going through the process of mitosis.

Explanation

Immortal cell lines can keep dividing indefinitely under suitable laboratory conditions, unlike most normal cells, which have a limited number of divisions. This makes them useful for repeated experiments and long-term research. Choice C correctly describes their ability to replicate indefinitely and avoid the usual limits on cell division.
