DNA polymerase can sometimes make mistakes. When this is detected the cell cycle halts and works on repairing the mistakes. List two genes that, when their function is lost, would not allow cells to halt their cell cycle. Please explain in a sentence or two why the loss of function mutations in each gene would have this effect.?

An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waiting time (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders more efficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have been proposed. To account for potential differences due to the type of ride and the possible interaction between the method of loading and unloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment was designed. Use the following data to test for any significant effect due to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, and interaction. Use α = 0.05.
| Type of Ride | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Roller Coaster | Screaming Demon | Log Flume | |
| Method 1 | 41 | 52 | 50 |
| 43 | 44 | 46 | |
| Method 2 | 49 | 50 | 48 |
| 51 | 46 | 44 | |
