There are a number of responses to this question: * If a single-celled organism, then it cannot grow because as the name suggests, it can only grow to one cell. * If there are no centrioles, because the cell cannot produce the spindles neccasary for the chromosomes to line up and so cannot reproduce. * If there is no genetic material (chromosomes/chromatin), because it won't reproduce, because it needs genetic material to make an identical copy and so go through the process of interphase and mitosis to make a new cell and grow.

How do you stop cancer cell from dividing?

"Normal" cells stop dividing when they come into contact with like cells, a mechanism known as contact inhibition. Cancerous cells lose this ability. Pictures of cancer cells show that cancerous cells lose the ability to stop dividing when they contact similar cells.


A scientist is trying to discover a new treatment to stop cancer cells from dividing In the cancer cells which of these processes will stop if the treatment is successful?

If the treatment is successful in stopping cancer cells from dividing, the process of cell proliferation and cell cycle progression will be affected. This would lead to a halt in the replication and division of cancer cells, ultimately inhibiting tumor growth.


Do cancer cells show density dependent inhibition?

No, mitosis is actually the cause of cancer. Well, unregulated mitosis that is. Cancer is basically uncontrolled cell division.


Describe how cancer cells differ from normal cells both structurally and in cell activity?

 Cancer cells differ from normal cells structurally as they look majorly clumped with unusual patterns or formations. Cancer cells differ in cell activity compared to normal cells greatly as they are constantly growing and dividing while normal cells do not and stop growing and dividing when touching another cell.
