Tissue

Question 13 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Which of the following can be reasons that a tissue becomes diseased? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
It is made from cells with a strong nucleus.
B
It is made from cells that multiply uncontrollably.
C
It is made from cells with the wrong shape.
D
It is made from cells with mutated DNA.
E
It is made from cells that contain mitochondria.
F
Its endoplasmic reticulum produces proteins.

Explanation

A tissue can become diseased when its cells grow or divide abnormally, have abnormal shapes, or carry mutations in their DNA. Uncontrollable multiplication, the wrong cell shape, and mutated DNA can therefore be signs or causes of disease. Having a strong nucleus, containing mitochondria, and producing proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum are not inherently diseased conditions; these are normal cell features or functions.
