In malignant tumours, the cells proliferate, grow rapidly and move to other parts of the body to form new tumours. This stage of the disease is called:

a. metagenesis

b. metastasis

c. teratogenesis

d. mitosis

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (b) metastasis

Explanation: Metagenesis is related to alternation of generation. Teratogenesis is related to congenital deformities. And mitosis is a type of cell division.

In malignant tumors, cells divide at an accelerated rate, leading to rapid growth and increased invasiveness. These tumors grow quickly as they receive ample nourishment and blood supply. Occasionally, some cells detach from the tumor mass and enter the bloodstream, a process referred to as metastasis.
