Answer:

The cyclin-dependent kinase will not signal for starting mitotic division.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of Cyclin-dependent kinase is to begin the mitotic division of cells. The distribution of equal chromosomes will be altered that would result in altered chromosome numbers in the progeny, or if the division is stopped then there would be reduction in the number of healthy cells as compared to damaged cells.
