Question

multiple - choice question
what is the problem with a mutated cell that continues to divide?
there is nothing wrong with the daughter cells.
it passes on the mutated dna to the daughter cells which results in many cells that are abnormal.
it makes the other cells around it mutate too.

Explanation:

When a mutated cell divides, it replicates its mutated DNA and passes it on to daughter cells. These daughter cells inherit the genetic abnormalities, leading to a population of abnormal cells. It doesn't necessarily cause other non - mutated cells around it to mutate directly. And clearly, there is an issue with the daughter cells due to the mutation.

Answer:

It passes on the mutated DNA to the daughter cells which results in many cells that are abnormal.
