Which statement describes a disruption that can occur in the cell cycle, leading to the development of cancer?

A. A virus interferes with checkpoints within the cell cycle, resulting in slower cell proliferation.

B. A virus interferes with checkpoints within the cell cycle, resulting in uncontrolled cell apoptosis.
c. A gene mutation interferes with cell cycle control mechanisms, resulting in uncontrolled cell
proliferation.

D. A gene mutation interferes with cell cycle control mechanisms, resulting in an increased rate of cell
apoptosis.

The correct answer is - option C. A gene mutation interferes with cell cycle control mechanisms, resulting in uncontrolled cell proliferation.

Explanation:

Genetic mutations resulting in the change or absence of any regulatory proteins that used during checkpoints can result in the mechanism of turning on or turning off the cell cycle or allow a cell to move further for the division. Due to this change, the checkpoints are not able to prevent it from division.

Uncontrolled multiplication or proliferation of the cell, resulting in tumor development or cancer.
