Proto-oncogenes CANNOT be transformed to oncogenes by:
A) chemically induced mutagenesis.
B) chromosomal rearrangements.
C) during a viral infection cycle.
D) elimination of their start signals for translation.
E) radiation-induced mutation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proto-oncogenes require their start signals for translation in order to function normally, but eliminating these signals would prevent their transformation into oncogenes. The other options can all potentially lead to oncogenic transformation of a proto-oncogene.
