Question

What genes are mutated to cause cancer?

A. genes involved in the cell cycle
B. genes involved in disease fighting
C. genes involved in removing toxins
D. genes involved in making hormones

Answer 1

A. Genes involved in the cell cycle
This is because cancer is a defect that causes the cell to repeatedly divide and undergo mitosis. If genes involved in the cell cycle mutate, the genes that limit and regulate the cell cycle may be changed or inactive, leading cancer cells.
