Students have asked these similar questions
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes that encode proteins involved in DNA repair. If DNA can not be
repaired, BRCA1 and BRCA2 activate a cell cycle checkpoint. Are BRCA1 and BRCA2
proto-oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Please explain why
A normally functioning gene that regulates the cell cycle by stopping cell division is most likely to be a(n) __________.
Group of answer choices
carcino-gene
tumor suppressor
proto-oncogene
muta-gene
oncogene
determine which statements is either tumor supressor or proto oncogene
