One possible result of a failure in the cell's checkpoint process during the cell cycle is tumor formation (cancer). The checkpoints are critical for ensuring that cells do not continue to divide when there are issues such as DNA damage or incomplete replication. If these checkpoints fail, it can lead to uncontrolled cell division and the development of tumors.
What is one possible result if there is a failure in the cell’s checkpoint process during the cell cycle?
Mitosis
Too much gas exchange between cells
Tumor formation (cancer)
A pause in cell growth and division
