Question

The genes concerned with the production of cancer are called:

• A. Cancer genes
• B. Carcino genes
• C. Carcinomas
• D. Oncogenes

Answer 1

The correct option is D Oncogenes

Proto-oncogenes are genes that normally help cells grow. When a proto-oncogene mutates (changes) or there are too many copies of it, it becomes a "bad" gene that can become permanently turned on or activated when it is not supposed to be. When this happens, the cell grows out of control, which can lead to cancer.
So, the correct answer is Oncogenes.
