What are proto-oncogenes and how do they differ from oncogenes?

Proto-oncogenes are normal genes that help regulate cell growth and division. When mutated or altered, they can become oncogenes, which promote uncontrolled cell growth and can lead to cancer. The main difference is that proto-oncogenes are normal genes that can become oncogenes through mutations.


When proto-oncogenes mutate they may become?

They are called oncogenes.


Is it true or false that only individuals with cancer have proto-oncogenes?

False. Proto-oncogenes are genes that can potentially become oncogenes, which are associated with cancer development. They are present in all individuals, not just those with cancer.


What do Proto-oncogenes regulate?

Proto-oncogenes stop cells dividing too often. When a mutation occurs to proto-oncogenes this is when cancer can occur, as there is then no hay-flick limit (normally cells have a limit to how many times then can divide) cells are able to replicate uncontrollably.


Viruses and chemical exposure can cause mutations in proto-oncogenes which can lead to?

onocogenes. Process: -PO (proto-oncogenes) are moved (closer to promoter/enhancer) -More PO is made -Proteins are made in excess (in more excess if it's been in excess from previous step) -Mutations at pts -At PO, causing increase expression -At coding gene, causing gene protein to resist degeneration

Is a proto oncogene the same as an oncogene?

No, a proto-oncogene and an oncogene are not the same. A proto-oncogene is a normal gene that plays a role in cell growth and division. When mutated or abnormally expressed, a proto-oncogene can become an oncogene, which promotes uncontrolled cell proliferation and contributes to cancer development. Thus, while all oncogenes originate from proto-oncogenes, not all proto-oncogenes become oncogenes.
