Question

All your cells contain proto-oncogenes, which can change into cancer-causing oncogenes. Why do cells possess such potential time bombs?

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So today we're going to be talking about proto oncogene. Will these proto oncogenes are genes that code for proteins and these proteins regulate program cell death or apoptosis in cancer cells. If these genes mutate and turn into cancer causing oncogene, what will be the consequence to the cells when the apathetic function is compromised? So remember that we have these product ANka genes and these product oncogenes defenders against cancer cells. So how do they do this? They induce apoptosis and basically kill the cancer cells. So if these products Duncan genes mutate and lose their function, they become concert cancer causing genes, then these function of inducing apoptosis and killing cancer cells is going to be eradicated. Which is going to allow cancer cells to survive Because of this. The correct answer choice is going to be answer choice. It would allow the cancer cells to survive longer since this function of apoptosis is going to be eradicated. This is the end of the video and I really hope this video helped you
