An oncogene is a gene that may be able to cause cancer. These genes can cause cells to mutate, instead of simply dying, which they are supposed to do.

The two types of cell cycle genes that cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably if mutated are called tumor suppressor genes and antioncogene
i dont no
Well the onco genes are BRCA-I and BRCA-II if mutated they cause breast cancer, I think that is what you meant, if not then you may have learned something new anyway
A mutated gene is just a gene that doesn't have the correct DNA or alleles.. Depending of the human disorder the gene that is mutated will be different... We use genes throughout our bodies but ALL genes can cause human disorders but there is NO single gene that, when mutated, creates ALL genetic modification...
Some genes, when they mutate, are more likely to cause cancer than others. For example, tumor suppressor genes, such as p53 or Rb (retinoblastoma), when mutated, can cause cells to lose control of their cell cycle and divide abnormally.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two genes in your DNA which when altered or mutated, leads to Breast cancer.
The two genes considered responsible for the cause of cancer are the oncogene and the tumor suppressor gene.
The most commonly mutated genes in cancer are TP53, KRAS, and PIK3CA. These mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, resistance to cell death, and increased ability to spread to other parts of the body. This contributes to the development and progression of cancer by allowing the cancer cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, evade the immune system, and invade surrounding tissues.
A malignant gene is a gene that has mutated and is involved in promoting cancer growth and progression. These genes can be oncogenes, which promote cell proliferation, or tumor suppressor genes, which normally inhibit cell growth but are inactivated in cancer.
Oncogenes are genes that C) can signal cells to reproduce uncontrollably. They typically arise from mutated proto-oncogenes, which normally regulate cell growth and division. When these genes become activated or overexpressed, they can lead to cancer development by promoting excessive cell proliferation.
Tumor suppressor genes help prevent cancer by regulating cell growth and division. They can repair damaged DNA, trigger cell death, or stop cells from dividing uncontrollably. When these genes are mutated or inactive, cells can grow out of control, leading to the development of cancer.
