Question
- the model shows how a cell grows, replicates its dna, and divides into two new cells.
what is the most likely result when cell cycle regulators fail?
options: uncontrolled division of cells leading to tumor growth, formation of haploid cells in the normal body tissues, transfer of genetic material from one cell to another, slower progression through stages of the cell cycle, clear all
Cell cycle regulators control the orderly progression of the cell cycle. When they fail, cells can divide uncontrollably. This uncontrolled division is a hallmark of cancer, leading to tumor growth. The other options are incorrect: slower progression would be due to working regulators (not failing), genetic material transfer between cells is not the main result of regulator failure, and haploid cell formation is related to meiosis (not the mitotic cell cycle shown here).
