Cancer cells divide excessively and invade other tissues. They do not have density dependence or anchorage dependence. Simply put, regular cells grow in an even layer while cancer cells grow tightly and on top of each other - an unnatural mass.

∙ 15y agobecause the bodies immune system does not recognise they are cancerous cells, or because the body has no immune system Cancer cells are normal cells, with a defect, it's like if a baker makes cakes that no one likes but he still gets paid for it he will carry on making horrible cakes.

It's this nature of cancer cells that allows them to grow to large tumors seemingly uncontrollably. Also, cancer cells not only divide more frequently, they are also immortal, meaning that they can divide indefinitely while normal cells senesce (grow old and does not divide) after 60 or 70 divisions.

a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
When culturing cells why do researchers prefer cancer cells over healthy cells extracted from an organism?
Cancer cells divide quickly and almost indefinitely. This makes them easy to grow in a dish while tissue culture with healthy cells is almost impossible.
What happens to cells as they grow and divide?
In multi-cellular organisms as cells grow and divide, they specialize.
Why do cancer cells go through the cell cycle rapidly?
Cancer cells lack the gene that stops cell growth at a certain point which causes them to grow and grow and not stop. Therefore, in cell growth, a cancer cell has nothing to tell it to stop growing.
Is it important for cells to divide?
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.
