-Can mutate after being cloned
-Grows easy and rapidly; better to study on then regular cells]]> 2019-05-11 03:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/swansonky/xljg1sjxw4qs/wish/359072891 Cons swansonky https://padlet.com/swansonky/xljg1sjxw4qs/wish/359072908 -HeLa cells are cancerous
-A normal cell contains 46 chromosomes whereas HeLa cells contain 76 to 80
-They grow unusually fast]]> 2019-05-11 03:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/swansonky/xljg1sjxw4qs/wish/359072908 Sources: swansonky https://padlet.com/swansonky/xljg1sjxw4qs/wish/359075067 “Book Club.” Book Club, www.companies-that-care.org/students-and-mentors/book-club.
