A gene that normally triggers cell division when it is appropriate is called a(n) oncogene. A proto-oncogene is a gene that has the potential to become an oncogene. A tumor suppressor gene is a gene that helps regulate cell growth and division, preventing the formation of tumors. A fusion protein is a protein that is created by the joining of two or more genes. A DNA repair gene is a gene that is responsible for repairing damaged DNA.

Proto-oncogenes are genes that have the potential to become oncogenes through either mutation or an increase in expression. Tumor suppressor genes, on the other hand, are genes that help regulate cell division and prevent the formation of tumors. Answer Bank: 1. Proteins that normally promote controlled cell division 2. Mutations that lead to uncontrolled cell growth 3. Proteins that normally prevent uncontrolled cell growth 4. Increased expression of oncogenes 5. Decreased expression of tumor suppressor genes

Classify each of the following traits depending on what type of genes are described. Can become cancer-causing genes when mutated Prevent apoptosis Promote apoptosis Code for proteins that decrease cell division Code for proteins that increase cell division Examples include BRCA1 and p53 Proto-oncogenes Both Tumor suppressor genes
