Question

Oncogenes are mutated forms of genes. Oncogenes can transform a normal cell into a tumor

cell. Some tumor cells are benign, while others are malignant. How does the presence of an
oncogene lead to the formation of a tumor? option choices
F ATP production is inhibited.
G Somatic cell growth is inhibited.
H Cell division is unregulated.
J Antibody activity is unregulated

Answer 1

H Cell division is unregulated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oncogenes are genes that, when mutated or somehow rendered overactive, cause cells to proliferate uncontrollably. This is a hallmark of cancer.

These genes make proteins with a range of functions, for example, signalling proteins, enzymes, transcription factors. What they have in common is that they promote cell growth and division.
