Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To describe: The chances of occurrence of cancer if both copies of the Rb gene and both the copies of the E2F gene become inactive due to mutations.
Introduction: The malfunctioning in the process of cell differentiation causes the accumulation of cells at a specific place of the body. The accumulation of cells results in the condition of cancer. There are various mutagens present in the environmental conditions that influence the working pathway of the process of the cell cycle.
