Within every cell, there are genes that tell the cell when to start the process of DNA replication and mitosis and when to stop. There are also "checkpoint" genes that will interrupt or stop cell division if a problem occurs. Which of the following factors might cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division? Neurological signals sent from the brain tell the cell to stop. The cell's DNA has been damaged somehow. There are not enough nutrients to support cell division 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 Grade It Now Save & Continue Continue without saving W3 Quiz Back to Assignment Attempts: Average: 12 9.
