Answer:

The cycle will not be completed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell cycle will not be completed because the drug inhibits the function of the anaphase promoting complex whose functions is to regulate progression through the mitotic phase of the cell cycle and to control entry into S phase. If the drug inhibits the anaphase promoting complex, the cell cycles will not move in the forward direction to enter to the S phase in order to complete the cell cycle.
