QUESTION 3
HPV is an example of a virus that is associated with a type of cancer (e.g. cervical cancer). While there are several possible ways a virus can contribute to the
cancer, which is the most likely way HPV could lead to cervical cancer?
a. It inserts into a proto-oncogene resulting in 'insertional mutagenesis' causing the gene to be nonfunctional.
b. Any of these scenarios are equally likely to occur when infected with HPV.
c. It inserts upstream of a proto-oncogene leading to the gene being overexpressed.
d. It inserts upstream of a tumor supressor gene leading to the gene being overexpressed.
e. It inserts downstream of a proto-oncogene leading to the gene being underexpressed.
