Which of the following factors might cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division? Check all that apply. Neurological signals sent from fear responses in an organism tell the cell to stop. The cell's DNA has been damaged somehow. The cell's DNA was replicated incorrectly.

Answer:

The cells DNA has been damaged somehow and The cells DNA was replicated incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

sometimes, these checkpoint genes are mutated or damaged and, thus, are unable to tell a damaged cell to stop dividing. When this occurs, the damaged cell gives rise to many damaged cells, which in turn create more damaged cells. These dividing cells form a NEOPLASM

Answer:

Neurological signals sent from fear responses in an organism tell the cell to stop. The cell's DNA has been damaged somehow. The cell's DNA was replicated incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the three options given can cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division.

Checkpoint genes are transcription genes that control cell cycle and sense defects during cells processes like DNA replication, segregation e.t.c and create response till the defects is repaired in the DNA. The important of checkpoint is that it ensure enough nutrients are available to support for division, ensure that the DNA has not been damaged, ensure that cells DNA is copied correctly and make sure cells have enough RNA for their protein synthesis.

Checkpoints genes can interrupt cell division if the dna is damaged, Dna is copied incorrectly and neurological signal sent from fear responses in an organisms tell the cells to stop.
