Question 42

Scientists examine four samples of body cells, W, X, Y and Z, following different viral infections.

Which set of observations best explains how a viral disease has led to cancer?

[1]
A

In sample X, infected cells are destroyed, while neighbouring cells divide in a controlled way to repair the tissue.

B

In sample Y, virus-free cells form a contained benign tumour, while the infected cells remain outside the tumour.

C

In sample Z, an immune reaction makes the infected tissue swell, while the cells in the tissue do not divide.

D

In sample W, cells containing the virus begin to divide uncontrollably, while cells without the virus continue to divide normally.
