Question

A scientist is developing a new cancer treatment and investigating a chemical that prevents DNA synthesis. What is the primary focus of this investigation?

a) Inhibiting cell division
b) Enhancing imμne response
c) Blocking protein synthesis
d) Inducing apoptosis

Answer 1

The primary focus of the investigation is inhibiting cell division to treat cancer. Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary focus of the scientist's investigation in developing a new cancer treatment and investigating a chemical that prevents DNA synthesis is a) Inhibiting cell division. Inhibiting cell division is important in cancer treatment because cancer forms when cells divide uncontrollably. By preventing DNA synthesis, the chemical can interrupt the process of cell division and potentially slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells.
