Question

When a cell suffers DNA damage, it activates a mechanism preventing damaged

cells from continuing to divide. What mechanism ensures this purpose?
O Apoptosis
O Cellular division
O Mitosis
O Meiosis

Answer 1

A) Apoptosis, or the automatic death of a cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the question asks what mechanism ensures/confirms the purpose of the mechanism where a cell prevents damaged cells from continuing to divide if it suffers DNA damage. In other words, how do we know the intent of the cell preventing damaged cells from continuing to divide is to prevent DNA damage? Well, it's apoptosis, which can be triggered if there is too much DNA damage.
