While both callus cells and cancer cells are undifferentiated masses of cells formed by rapid mitosis, callus cells have the capacity to differentiate into various cell types and ultimately form functional tissues or whole plants, whereas cancer cells are unable to properly differentiate, resulting in the formation of malignant tumors. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
