Draw a feedback loop depicting the role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in cancer

Answer»

Answer:

Explanation:

A positive feedback loop takes places when when ONCOGENES are there because of mutation in the proto-oncogenes.

In this condition, the cells start multiplying uncontrollably.

Nothing can practically stop their growth.

Tumor suppressor genes in cancer make a negative feedback DUE to apoptosis in cells that can lead to a CANCEROUS condition.

Therefore, Oncogenes HAPPEN due to the turning on of proto-oncogenes whereas tumor suppressor genes may CAUSE cancer while they are turned off.
