Is a way for a cell to give information about its activities.
The answer is a tumor.
Tumors are characterized by cells that have a mutation in their DNA that causes them to reproduce unregulated hence proliferate and do not form true tissues. Inhibitors, called tumor suppressors, act like a ‘brake’ in the cell cycle. Cyclins, on the other hand, are the ‘gas pedal’ for the cycle. The right balance ensures that cell cycle is well regulated. When the DNA is a cell is damaged, the tumor suppressors are rectruited to stop any further progress of the cell cycle and the cell undergoes apoptosis.
