Cell Cycle — Unit test

Question 17 • First Semester Biology

Imagine that a disorder that causes the cell cycle to stop affects the muscle cells of a frog’s leg. What consequence is most likely to follow?

Answer
A
The frog will immediately not be able to use the muscle.
B
An injury to the muscle will not heal.
C
The frog will not be able to reproduce.
D
A broken bone in that leg will not mend.

Explanation

If the cell cycle stops, muscle cells cannot divide to replace damaged or lost cells. As a result, an injury to the muscle will not heal normally. The frog may still use its existing muscle, and the disorder described does not directly prevent reproduction or bone repair.
