Question

1. cell division disruptions

suppose you scrape your knee falling off your bike. what may happen if mitosis doesnt start around the open wound?
the wound would not be able to heal.
new skin cells would generate through spontaneous generation.

1. suppose your cells continue to help heal the scrape that resulted from falling off your bike. what might happen if the cell cycle did not go into a rest phase? explain by completing the sentence stems provided.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces new cells for growth, repair, and replacement. For a scraped knee, mitosis is needed to produce new skin cells to replace the damaged ones. If mitosis doesn't occur, there will be no new cells to repair the wound, so the wound can't heal. Spontaneous generation (the idea that living things can arise from non - living matter) is a discredited theory, and new skin cells don't form this way.

Answer:

The wound would not be able to heal.
