The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The first statement claims that cancer cells are virtually immortal until the death of the human body. - Cancer cells arise from mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell division. - This uncontrolled growth means that cancer cells can continue to proliferate indefinitely, which aligns with the idea of them being "virtually immortal." 2. **Conclusion on Statement 1**: - Since cancer cells can continue to divide and do not undergo normal cellular death processes, this statement is **True**. 3. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The second statement asserts that cancer cells avoid apoptosis. - Apoptosis is a programmed cell death process that is crucial for maintaining healthy tissue homeostasis. - Cancer cells often develop mechanisms to evade apoptosis, allowing them to survive and proliferate despite signals that would normally trigger cell death. 4. **Conclusion on Statement 2**: - Given that cancer cells can ignore the signals that would typically lead to their self-destruction, this statement is also **True**. 5. **Final Conclusion**: - Both statements are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is that both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
