Correct:
C
Explanation
Both statements are correct:
- Statement 1: Normal cells have genes called proto-oncogenes which, when activated under certain conditions, could lead to oncogenic transformation of the cells (becoming oncogenes). Additionally, several viruses called oncogenic viruses (like HPV or Hepatitis B) have genes called viral oncogenes that can cause cancer by interfering with the host's cell cycle.
- Statement 2: Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells spread from the place where they first formed to distant parts of the body. This occurs when cancer cells break away from the primary tumor and travel through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system to form new (secondary) tumors in other organs. This is a characteristic feature of malignant tumors.
