Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transformed cells are typically cancerous cells, and cancer cells are known for lacking or having weak tight junctions between cells. Aneuploidy (an abnormal number of chromosomes) and the presence of integrated viral genes are both common characteristics of transformed cells. The ability to differentiate into different cell types is not typically a characteristic of transformed cells, as they have lost the ability to regulate their growth and differentiation.
