Question4

Are the following statements true or false? Drag the true or false labels and drop them alongside the statements.

A-Loss of expression of a growth factor receptor may induce sustained cell division by tumour cells.

B-Anti-microtubule drugs function by inhibiting cell division following the phase of cell growth in which DNA replication occurs.
