Question

Scientists took some cells and grew them in a Petri dish with nutrients. After a while, the cells grew to form a thin layer and stopped when they came in contact with other cells. What does this tell you about cells and the cell cycle?

Answer 1

Contact inhibition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Contact inhibition is a response of a cell in which cell growth stopped when it touches or comes in contact with another cell. When the normal and healthy cells grows and touching other cells, the cell receives a red light signal to stop its growth so the cell stop its growth while on the other hand, if there is no contact with other cell the cell continues its growth.
