Chemicals used in chemotherapy treatments to fight cancer can also harm cells in hair follicles and bone marrow. What characteristic do these cels most likely share with cancerous cells?
O They form tumors.
O They spread through the blood.
• They divide rapidly.
O They contain a mutation.
A

They divide rapidly

Explanation:

Some normal cells such as hair follicles cells, mouth cells, digestive tract cells, and bone marrow cells divide rapidly. In mammalians, hair follicle cells are cells localized in the skin, specifically in the dermal layer of the skin. In this region, epidermal cells that form the root of the hair divide rapidly by interacting with neuropeptides, hormones, and immune cells. On the other hand, the bone marrow is a spongy tissue found in bones that contain stem cells (which also divide rapidly). In consequence, it is well-known that high-dose chemotherapy treatments may damage these types of cells.

is this a psat question, if so do not cheat try your best.
