Consider the cell cycle shown below. A cell will stop dividing and go into G0, the resting phase, if it receives the proper signal at the G1 checkpoint.
What would happen if the G1 checkpoint regulation failed?

The cell would continue in the cycle and divide uncontrollably, which may lead to cancer.
The cell would continue in the cycle and divide uncontrollably, which may lead to cancer.
The cell would enter into G0, the resting phase.
The cell would enter into G0, the resting phase.
The checkpoint is not important, the cell would go on to the next phase.
The checkpoint is not important, the cell would go on to the next phase.
The cell would remain in G1 and continue to grow.
The cell would continue in the cycle and divide uncontrollably, which may lead to cancer.
The correct response is: The cell would continue in the cycle and divide uncontrollably, which may lead to cancer.
If the G1 checkpoint regulation failed, it means that the cell would not receive the proper signal to stop dividing and enter G0, the resting phase. In this case, the cell would continue in the cell cycle and divide uncontrollably, which has the potential to lead to cancer. Therefore, the correct answer is:
The cell would continue in the cycle and divide uncontrollably, which may lead to cancer.
