Question

cancer occurs when the checkpoints fail and mutations to cell dna is not detected. some mutations cause the cell to skip the g₀ phase, resting phase and start the cell cycle again. hpv is known to cause these types of mutations. out of control cell division is the nature of cancer. what do you think happens when the cell does detect a problem with the dna at any of the checkpoints? (there is also a diagram of the cell cycle with checkpoints and phases labeled: g₁, s, g₂, m, g₀, with dna replication in s phase, preparation phases, and checkpoints asking about dna replication and chromosome attachment.)

Explanation:

The problem is about cancer, cell cycle checkpoints, and DNA mutations, which relates to the study of living organisms and their cellular processes. Biology is the subfield of Natural Science that focuses on life - related topics like cell biology, genetics, and how diseases like cancer occur at the cellular level.
