When cells lose their ability to regulate the cell cycle, they can divide at an accelerated rate
and form a mass of cells. This mass of cells is referred to as -
OA. an embryo
OB. a gland
O c. an organ
OD. a tumor

A tumor

Explanation:

A tumor is a group or mass of abnormal tissues formed by a group of abnormal cells.

According to the normal growth pattern of a cell, new cells formed age and die, and then get replaced by new cells.

In the case of tumor, this normal pattern is not observed and the cells do not die or get destroyed in the normal path. Due to this, many cells accumulate to form the tumor.

The tumor cells have the ability to grow and divide rapidly at an accelerated rate.  

Tumors can be malignant and cancerous or non-malignant or benign .

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
