Rapid growth of cells is observed in tumors. One hypothesis of rapid tumor growth is that the creation of new cells uses old cells only as a scaffold to promote rapid growth similar to how crystal solids form. In this hypothesis, new cellular material is not created from preexisting cells. First a new nucleus of a cell attaches to the preexisting cells followed by the formation of the cytoplasm and lastly a cellular membrane forms around the cytoplasm-nucleus complex. This process can only happen if there is a pre-existing lattice network of cells that can function as a site of nucleation. Group of answer choices This hypothesis is not supported by cell theory because new cells are not created from older, preexisting cells. This hypothesis is not supported by cell theory because cell walls are required to grow new cells

Answer:

This hypothesis is not supported by cell theory because new cells are not created from older, preexisting cells.

Explanation:

This hypothesis does not agree with cell theory because it states that new cells do not need pre-existing cells to be created. Cell theory states that cells are generated from old, pre-existing cells, which go through the process of cell division to create new cells.

We can see the disagreement of this hypothesis with the cell theory in the lines:

" In this hypothesis, new cellular material is not created from preexisting cells."
