Read the following statements carefully: (I) Normal cells show a property called contact inhibition by virtue of which contact with other cells inhibits their uncontrolled growth. (II) Computed tomography uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionizing radiations to accurately detect pathological and physiological changes in the living tissue. (III) Cellular oncogenes (c-onc) or proto-oncogenes have been identified in n
Options
- A(I) and (III) only
- B(II) and (IV) only
- C(I), (II) and (IV) only
- D(II), (III) and (IV) only
Correct answer
B. (II) and (IV) only
Step-by-step solution
Statement (I) is correct as normal cells exhibit contact inhibition which prevents their uncontrolled proliferation. Statement (II) is incorrect because Computed Tomography (CT) uses X-rays (ionizing radiations) to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionizing radiations to accurately detect pathological and physiological changes in the living tissue. Statement (III) is correct as cellular oncogenes (c-onc) or proto-on
