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