Mutations in _______ Can Actively Promote Cell Division

Question

Mutations in _______ can actively promote cell division.
A) Tumor suppressor genes
B) Oncogenes
C) Operator genes
D) Promoter genes
E) Silencer genes

Accepted Answer

Mutations in oncogenes can lead to their activation and promotion of cell division, which can contribute to the development of cancer. Tumor suppressor genes, on the other hand, help to prevent uncontrolled cell growth and mutations in these genes can increase the risk of cancer. Operator, promoter, and silencer genes are involved in gene regulation and do not directly promote cell division.
