Genes are sections of DNA that contain information to make a protein. Genes can be turned on or off to control the protein production process. If a gene is not turned off, it is possible for too many proteins to be produced. Which of the following may be a benefit of the overproduction of proteins? a Mutated genes may become normal. b Injury repair may occur more quickly. c The cells of an organism may be destroyed. d An organism may develop cancer.
