- Tumor Suppressor Genes are often called as gatekeepers because: a. They signify their involvement in governing the dynamics of cell proliferation b. They allow tumors to proliferate at an uncontrolled rate c. To allow a transport channel of suppressors d. They are not referred to as ?gatekeepers?arrow_forwardp53 gene, as is the Rb gene, is a tumor suppressor gene. p53 protein binds to DNA leading to the simulation of p21 that work together with cdk2. When p21 is defective and cannot joined to cdk2 the cell cannot pass through to the next stage of cell division. Mutated p53 cannot bind to DNA in an effective way, and therefore the p21 protein is not available to act as the 'stop signal' for cell division. Thus cells divide uncontrollably, and form tumors.

Which factor (genetics or environment) is playing a larger role in the generation of these types of cancers?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT an example of fail-safe mechanisms that prevent the irregular cell divisions characteristic of cancer? a.Shortening of telomeres b.Cell division limit c.Mutation in a tumor suppressor gene d.Triggered cell deatharrow_forward
