Question

The most crucial reason for a cell to minimize errors in cell division is

Answer 1

Answer:

Cell’s who make errors when dividing further their risk for becoming cancerous

Explanation:

During cell division, DNA is replicated. If a mutation occurs during replication that cannot be repaired a cell will undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death). Sometimes, mutations occur to tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes. These genes make sure a cell has no mutations before dividing/making the decision to start apoptosis. When these genes become mutated, the cell is less likely to correct potential mutations and is more at risk for becoming cancerous.
