Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells spread from their primary site to other locations in the body through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system. Differentiation refers to the process by which cells become specialized, cytokinesis is the division of a cell into two daughter cells, and mutation refers to changes in the DNA sequence that can lead to cancer development but do not necessarily involve spreading to other tissues.
