Question

What happens if cell cycle regulators don’t function properly

Answer 1

Answer:

An organism may end up with too few or too many cells.

Explanation:

Cell cycle regulators are molecules that allow the cell cycle to be completed when the body really needs it and when all the conditions necessary for the cell cycle to happen are available. Through regulators, the body avoids energy waste, overproduction of new cells, as well as promotes the creation of new cells whenever necessary.

If these regulators fail, the organism will go into cellular imbalance because it will have nothing to stop a cell from multiplying more than necessary. In addition, if regulators fail the human body may have fewer cells than needed.

Answer 2

Internal regulators allow the cell cycle to proceed only when certain processes have happened inside the cell. ... Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. As a result, they divide uncontrollably and form masses of cells called tumors that can damage the surrounding tissues.
