Suppose that an unusually high degree of aurora kinase activity is observed in the cervix. what could we reasonably conclude about c5m treatment efficacy across all cervical cancer cell lines, using this new information and the data within the passage.

a. c5m will significantly inhibit mitotic progression in cancerous cervical cells.

b. c5m will significantly inhibit mitotic progression in cancerous cervical cells, but only if p53 gene expression is knocked out.

c. c5m will not significantly inhibit mitotic progression in cancerous cervical cells.

d. insufficient information is available to make conclusions about c5m treatment efficacy."

The preferable statement will be - D

D. insufficient information is available to make conclusions about c5m treatment efficacy.

Explanation:

The given information does not disclose that the C5m would work in all cervical cancer strains. Though it seems like c5m will work only when p53 expression is off. Option B is also correct from this context.

Nothing can be surely said because of insufficient information.
