question 74

Multiple Choice

Density-dependent inhibition is explained by which of the following?

• A)As cells become more numerous, they begin to squeeze against each other, restricting their size and ability to produce control factors.
• B)As cells become more numerous, the cell surface proteins of one cell contact the adjoining cells and they stop dividing.
• C)As cells become more numerous, the protein kinases they produce begin to compete with each other, such that the proteins produced by one cell essentially cancel those produced by its neighbour.
• D)As cells become more numerous, more and more of them enter the S phase of the cell cycle.
