• Can differentiate and become Undergoes • Differentiate poorly and do not
mature functioning cells mitosis mature
• Undergo apoptosis and are Capable of • They do not die, they just
replaced with new cells proliferation continue to replicate
• Capable of contact inhibition • Incapable of contact inhibition
• They remained confined at a • Can grow into to a tumor and
particular location capable of metastasis
