Question

the diagram below represents the cell cycle. when cells leave the cell cycle, they exit during g1 phase and then enter g0 phase, a resting period. most normal cells can leave g0 phase and reenter the cell cycle at g1 phase before entering s phase. cancer cells are different because they cannot enter g0 phase and are likely to do which of the following? a fail to complete s phase b mutate during g1 phase c repeat the cell cycle continuously d die after completing mitosis

Explanation:

Cancer cells do not enter the $G_0$ resting - phase. Instead, they keep dividing. This means they continuously repeat the cell - cycle. Normal cells can pause in $G_0$, but cancer cells bypass this and keep cycling through $G_1$, $S$, $G_2$, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Answer:

C. Repeat the cell cycle continuously
