What is the difference between an oncogene and a tumor-suppressor gene? Give some examples of the functions of proto-oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes in normal cells.
Distinguish between proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. 1. Classify the following genes as proto-oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes: p53, ras, BCL-2, JUN, MDM2, and p16. Give a short explanation for your classification for each gene.
