Question

a mutation that causes abnormal cell division can result in (1 point)
skin cancer.
cystic fibrosis.
sickle cell anemia.
clogged arteries.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Skin cancer: Caused by mutations leading to abnormal cell division (uncontrolled growth).
• Cystic fibrosis: Due to a mutation affecting ion transport, not abnormal cell division.
• Sickle cell anemia: From a mutation altering hemoglobin structure, not cell division control.
• Clogged arteries: Related to plaque buildup, not abnormal cell division mutations.

So the correct option is the one related to abnormal cell division (cancer).

Answer:

A. skin cancer.
