Uncontrolled mitotic process-disease in the pluricellular

Question

Name the uncontrolled mitotic process which takes place as disease in the pluricellular beings.

Answer 1

Uncontrolled mitotic cell division is also named as Neoplasia. Neoplasia (formation of new strange tissues) takes place if a cell suffers alteration in its genetic material, loses the capability to control or regulate its own division and the breakdown is transmitted to its descendants.

Cancers are the malignant neoplasias. The word malignant is signifies that neoplastic cells can propagate to distant sites which attacking other tissues and organs. Neoplasias whose cells can’t propagate to distant sites are named as benign neoplasias.
