Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tumor suppressor genes are genes that code proteins to slow down or stop cell division. This is because if the cells divide uncontrollable, it will lead to cancer and if tumor suppressor gene is activated it will help to slow down or stop uncontrollable cell division. It is also called anti oncogene and it repair DNA mistakes and tell when cells should die.
