Tumor formation (cancer)
One possible result if there is a failure in the cell's checkpoint process during the cell cycle is tumor formation (cancer). Checkpoints are critical for ensuring that the cell only progresses through the cell cycle when conditions are appropriate, and failure in these checkpoints can lead to uncontrolled cell division, which is a hallmark of cancer.
