Question

why must multicellular organisms control the cell cycle? select (3)
□ to promote cell contact
□ to stimulate wound healing
□ to regulate embryonic development
□ to prevent excessive growth

Explanation:

• "To promote cell contact" is incorrect as cell cycle control is not mainly for promoting cell contact.
• "To stimulate wound healing": Wound healing requires controlled cell division (cell cycle) to replace damaged cells, so this is a valid reason.
• "To regulate embryonic development": Embryonic development involves precise cell cycle control for proper growth and differentiation of cells, so this is valid.
• "To prevent excessive growth": Uncontrolled cell cycle can lead to tumors (excessive growth), so controlling the cell cycle prevents this, making this valid.

Answer:

To stimulate wound healing, To regulate embryonic development, To prevent excessive growth
