All of the options listed are major differences between cancer cells and normal cells. Cancer cells can replace telomeres lost during cell division, allowing them to divide indefinitely. Normal cells typically stop dividing when they come into contact with neighboring cells (contact inhibition) and have a limit on the number of times they can divide, known as the Hayflick limit.
