The cells will replicate normally, replacing body cells that die.
The cells will continue to grow, causing a tumor in the body.
The cells will replicate until the food supply for each cell is used, causing each cell to die.
The cells will stop replicating once one layer is produced, as other body cells will crowd them out.
