What usually happens when cells come into contact with other cells?
A
they divide more quickly
B
they stop growing
C
they produce cyclins
D
they produce p53
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When cells come in contact with other cells, they usually stop their growth. This indicates that cells have the ability to continue or stop their growth. A similar thing happens when a skin is cut. The cells that are located along the edges of the injury are dividing and producing new cells rapidly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Regulating the Cell Cycle When cell’s come into contact with other cells, they stop growing. This is called contact inhibition.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a cell comes into contact with another cell, the two cells attempt to change their locomotion in different directions to avoid a repeat of the same in the future. If they cannot avoid it, they cease their growth and division.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cells send chemical messages to each other so that they stop growing and dividing when growth or healing is complete.

Detailed explanation-5: -If the cell is not grown in the interphase, cells cannot synthesize proteins needed for mitosis. So the process of mitosis cannot be carried in the cells.
