Question

During the cell cycle, the cell must pass through several checkpoints that confirm that the cell is ready to progress to the next phase of the cycle. If the requirements of one phase have not been met, the cell cannot proceed to the next phase. These checkpoints help control the rate of cell division. If a mutation disables one of these checkpoints, what is most likely to happen? O O O O Cells proceed through phases of the cell cycle in the wrong order Cells remain in one phase of the cell cycle for the rest of their existence The cell begins dividing too often, forming a tumor Cells divide slowly, reducing organ function.

Explanation / Answer

If a dividing cells fails to pass through checkpoints, it most likely starts dividing too often formin a tumour. The checkpoints acts as a control agent to determine tge rate of division of a cell. Disabling a checkpoint will alter the proceeding of cell cycle.
