Question

1. cyclins and cyclin - dependent kinases (cdks) regulate the cell cycle. if cdks are overactive, what is the most likely result? (hint: if its doing too much, what will happen!). the cell cycle will slow down, causing delayed tissue growth. cells will divide uncontrollably, potentially forming tumors. the cell will remain permanently in interphase. dna replication will fail completely, causing cell death.

Explanation:

Cyclins and CDKs regulate cell - cycle progression. Overactive CDKs would cause cells to divide more rapidly than normal. Uncontrolled cell division is a characteristic of cancer and can lead to tumor formation.

Answer:

Cells will divide uncontrollably, potentially forming tumors.
