Question

I feel fairly confident in the answers that I have already put in boxes, but I feel like both normal and cancer cells can grow well in culture

You are given two test tubes, one containing cells from a human cancer and the other containing normal cells. Before you begin your studies, the labels fall off the test tubes.

How could you determine which sample contains the cancer cells?

Sort each test results into the appropriate bin.

Part A How could you determine which sample contains the cancer cells? Sort each test results into the appropriate bin Reset Help grow well in culture Normal Cells Cancer Cells have mechanisms for replenishing don't divide more than 50-60 times in culture grow to higher population densities in culture need anchorage for growth produce tumors being injected into

Explanation / Answer

Normal cells are anchorage dependant, whereas cancer cells are anchorage independant, means normal cells go for contact inhibition and cancer cells continue to grow and form lumps.

normal cells divide in control and often in single layer, whereas cancer cells divides in higher density.

cancer cells can repair their telomeres and become less prone to apoptosis, these cells can also produce tumours in the mice when injected.

normal cells are much selective about their nutrient requirements are nutrient media must have all the necessary ingredients, whereas cancer cells are much easier to grow in much simplar media. so the "grow well in culture" should also go into the cancer cells box.
