Name the pathological condition that occurs when uncontrolled cell division takes place.
(N/A) The pathological condition characterized by uncontrolled cell division is known as cancer.
In normal cells,cell division is strictly regulated by various checkpoints and signaling pathways.
When these regulatory mechanisms fail,cells begin to divide uncontrollably,leading to the formation of a mass of cells known as a tumor or neoplasm.
This uncontrolled proliferation disrupts the normal structure and function of the affected organ or tissue.
