Question

Leukemia is a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-

forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal white blood cells.
Which statement about cell cycle checkpoints describes how this disease occurs?
A Dysfunctional checkpoints may lead to abnormal cell growth.
B Defective checkpoints result in death of a cell.
C Normal checkpoints assess damage to cancer cells.
D Cell checkpoints fail only in meiosis.
What would this be.

Answer 1

A Dysfunctional checkpoints may lead to abnormal cell growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the hallmarks of cancer is unregulated cell proliferation. This means cells keep dividing, producing large numbers of often abnormal cells.

There are many of ways this can happen, such as increased signals telling the cells to divide, and dysfunctional cell cycle checkpoints that do not stop the cell from dividing. This leads to the accumulation of mutations and abnormal cell growth.
