Cells which have undergone transformation frequently become

  • A.anchorage independent
  • B.anchorage dependent
  • C.stable
  • D.unstable

Answer: A

Correct answer: anchorage independent

A transformed cell loses its need for a surface to attach to, becoming anchorage independent - it will grow in suspension or in soft agar. That property is one of the standard laboratory tests for malignant transformation, because it corresponds to the ability of a tumour cell to survive away from its tissue of origin.
