Question
Write any three differences between benign tumour and malignant tumour.
✓
Answer
| S.No. | Malignant tumour. | Benign tumour |
| 1. | Malignant tumors are cancerous. They divide without control and invade other tissues nearby. | A benign tumor is a non-cancerous tumor. This means the tumor does not invade nearby tissue or spread in the body, and is therefore much less risky. |
| 2. | They can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. | Certain benign tumors can still pose health risks and require treatment. |
| 3. | There are five types of benign tumors. | There are ten types of benign tumors. |

The melding of a technique for repeated rounds of DNA synthesis with the discovery of a thermostable DNA polymerase has given scientists the very powerful technique known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR is based on three simple steps required for any DNA synthesis reaction: (1) denaturation of the template into single strands; (2) annealing of primers to each original strand for new strand synthesis; and (3) extension of the new DNA strands from the primers.
