Answer

Hi,

NO, tumor suppression is not a reason for cell reproduction but helps in cell growth.

Step-by-step explanation

The reasons for cell reproduction are to facilitate repair of tissues and continue the growth and development of an organism. Tumor suppressor gene makes a tumor suppressor protein that helps in cell growth. When mutations happen in a tumor suppressor gene cancer may develop.

Best wishes!
