mature multicellular eukaryotes

In fully ________, cell division continues to function in renewal and repair, replacing cells that die from accidents or regular wear and strain.

Chemotherapy

________ is used to treat known or suspected metastatic cancers, in which medicines that are harmful to actively proliferating cells are given through the circulatory system.

malignant tumor

A(n) ________, on the other hand, consists of cells that have undergone genetic and cellular changes that allow them to spread to new tissues and impair the functions of one or more organs; these cells are also sometimes referred to as transformed cells (though usage of this term is generally restricted to cells in culture), as shown in the image attached.

prokaryotic cell divides

When a(n) ________, it is truly reproducing since the process results in the formation of a new creature (another cell)
