A cell picks up mutations that allow it to move past the G1 and G2 checkpoints even if its growth factor is not present, These mutations also cause the mutated cell to bond less tightly to other cells and the extracellular matrix. As a result, this cell would ... die form a benign tumor form a malignant tumor that metasticizes form a mass of normal tissue

The answer is: form a malignant tumor that metastasizes.

Explanation:

Before the cell cycle, the cell examines its checkpoints (G1 and G2) and decides whether or not it can divide. A mutation leads to the inactivation of the APC, p53 and DCC genes, which are the genes that are responsible for suppressing tumors and also leads to the activation of the K-ras oncogene, which functions as cell proliferation. This whole process results in the production of a malignant tumor, which metastasizes.
