A. False, it should read ““If a point mutation occurs in a Proto-oncogene it can form an Oncogene. This can inhibit cell division, leading to the formation of a tumor.”
B. True
C. False, it should read ““If a point mutation occurs in an Oncogene it can form a Proto-oncogene. This can inhibit cell division, leading to the formation of a tumor.”
D. False, it should read ““If a point mutation occurs in an Oncogene it can form a Proto-oncogene. This can stimulate excessive cell division, leading to the formation of a tumor.”
