Which of the following is a property of transformed cells?
A)Rounded shape
B)Reduced requirement for mitogenic growth factors
C)Loss of contact inhibition
D)Increased transport of glucose
E)All of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transformed cells exhibit a rounded shape due to loss of adhesion to surrounding cells, reduced requirement for mitogenic growth factors due to activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, loss of contact inhibition leading to uncontrolled cell growth, and increased transport of glucose to support the high rate of metabolism in cancer cells. Therefore, all of the above options are properties of transformed cells.
