Answer:

b. an injury to the muscle will not heal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cell cycle refers to the orderly events that form new cells from the existing ones. The newly produced cells help in growth and development as well as serve in healing by replacing the damaged cells.

Since the frog has a disorder that does not allow its leg muscles to carry out the cell division, any injury to the leg muscle would not heal. The lack of the process of cell division would not allow the formation of new cells. And without new cells, the injured muscles cannot heal.
