Question

Which of the following characteristics are often observed in cells with eccentrically located nuclei and prominent perinuclear clear zones?

A) Increased nucleus size
B) Increased variation in nuclear size (Anisokaryosis)
C) Cells with multiple nuclei
D) Angular (instead of rounded) nuclei
E) Cells undergoing mitosis
F) Pleomorphism (variation in cell size)

Answer 1

Cells with eccentrically located nuclei and prominent perinuclear clear zones often display increased variation in nuclear size, angular nuclei, and pleomorphism (variation in cell size).

Step-by-step explanation:

Cells with eccentrically located nuclei and prominent perinuclear clear zones often display the following characteristics:

• Increased variation in nuclear size (Anisokaryosis): The nuclei in these cells may vary in size, with some being larger or smaller than normal.
• Angular (instead of rounded) nuclei: The nuclei in these cells may have an angular shape instead of the usual rounded shape.
• Pleomorphism (variation in cell size): The cells themselves may vary in size, with some being larger or smaller than normal.
