Suppose that a genetic alteration resulted in the synthesis of cyclin-dependent kinases that no longer provided the "go" signal at the cellular checkpoint. Predict the immediate outcome if this were to alter the normal cell life-cycle processes at the G2 checkpoint. The cells involved would
a. grow and otherwise function undergoing mitosis
b. exit the cell cycle completely and enter a nondividing cellular state
c. most likely remain in suspended metaphase, unable to enter anaphase
d. proceed as normal, enter the G1, S, G2, and M phases and divide
