Question

1. what is the outcome when a cell detects errors during mitosis and triggers apoptosis? a. the cell undergoes programmed cell death to prevent potential harm. b. the cell corrects the errors and continues to divide. c. the cell accelerates its division to complete mitosis faster. d. the cell ignores the errors and remains in the mitotic phase.

Explanation:

When a cell detects errors during mitosis and triggers apoptosis, it undergoes programmed cell death to prevent potential harm. This is a protective mechanism to avoid the propagation of damaged cells.

Answer:

a. The cell undergoes programmed cell death to prevent potential harm.
