Answer:

Could turn into a precancerous cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually, your body's mechanism will kill cells that have damaged DNA (if the damage is beyond repair), but if the cells somehow avoid the apoptosis cues, they could turn precancerous and not listen to our body's system.

When cells have DNA damage but fail to undergo apoptosis, they may be on the road to cancer.
