Cancer cells have a number of key features in common, which were described in class as a list and have also been put forth in a model of the Hallmarks of Cancer. For Question 4 (parts 1-4), match each description with the cancer hallmark to which it most applies. There is only one answer for each description, so pick the best option from the hallmarks listed. Not all the hallmarks will be used. In cell culture, cells are no longer subject to contact inhibition and growth in a monolayer, and will grow above the monolayer in clusters. [ Choose ] Cells divide in the absence of mitogen signalling and grow in the absence of growth factor stimulation. [ Choose ] Loss of functional p53 leads to loss of response to cellular stress and DNA damage signals. Evading apoptosis Cells maintain telomere length by expressing

Cancer cells exhibit traits called "Hallmarks of Transformation." Which of the following is/are not characteristic of cancer cells? a. Loss of contact inhibition b. Constitutive activity of the caspase cascade c. Loss of tumor suppressor checkpoint activity d. Genomic instability e. None of the above - all are characteristic of cancer cells
Adi S.
Which of the following is NOT a hallmark of cancer? Resistance to signals that slow cell division or promote death. Ability to stimulate growth of blood vessels to provide nutrients to the rapidly growing tumor. Metastasis, which allows invasion of local tissues. Ability of cells to inhibit cell division when conditions are not optimal. Cell division in the absence of growth signals.
