Additional Problems
Angiogenesis contributes to carcinogenesis becausea. it allows tumor cells to spread to other parts of the body.b. it causes blood vessels to grow into the tumor.c. it allows tumor cells to invade underlying tissues.d. it causes additional mutations to occur in tumor cells.
Apoptosis a. is a process that repairs damaged DNA b. occurs as telomeres increase in length. c. can be used to remove damaged or malfunctioning cells d. increases the number of somatic cells
