Imagine that a disorder that causes the cell cycle to stop affects the muscle cells of a frog’s leg. What consequence is most likely to follow?

Muscle tissue needs cell division to replace damaged cells and repair an injury. If a disorder stops the cell cycle in the leg’s muscle cells, those cells cannot divide, so an injury to the muscle will not heal. A broken bone involves bone cells, not muscle cells, and the disorder does not necessarily cause immediate loss of muscle function or prevent reproduction.
