Question

Early observations of a cultured cell line indicated that the cells did not exhibit either density-dependent inhibition or anchorage dependence. what do these observations suggest about this cell line

Answer 1

A cell line refers to a population of cells from a multi cellular organism which normally has a fixed multiplication rate but due to mutation, the cells now have capacity to proliferate indefinitely. Cell lines are usually used to cultivate more cells. A cultured cell line which does not show density independent inhibition or anchorage is a tumored cell. This observation shows that the cell exhibit properties of tumors.
