Question
Chapter 8.6, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The factor that prevents normal cells from dividing when they are not supposed to.
Concept introduction:
Cell division is the process by which parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as a part of huge cell. In cell cycle, there are certain checkpoints which play important role in preventing normal cells from dividing.
