Scientists have conducted multiple experiments on cancer cells to determine how they reproduce. All studies have shown the same result. Choose the correct response that explains the results.

Contact inhibition normally causes cells to stop dividing when they touch neighboring cells or fill the available space. Cancer cells often lack this control, so they continue reproducing and may form a tumor. This makes “Cancer cells lack contact inhibition; therefore, they do not stop reproducing” the correct response; it does not mean they reproduce every second or are impossible to treat.
