Question
oncogenes are mutated forms of genes. oncogenes can transform a 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? atp production is inhibited somatic cell growth is inhibited cell division is unregulated antibody activity is unregulated
Oncogenes are mutated genes that disrupt normal cell - cycle regulation. Normal cells divide in a regulated manner, but when oncogenes are present, they cause cells to divide uncontrollably, leading to tumor formation. Unregulated cell division is the key mechanism here, not ATP production inhibition, somatic cell growth inhibition, or unregulated antibody activity.
