Question
Myc is a family of regulator genes that code for transcription factors. c-myc was the
first gene to be discovered in this family, and c-myc is dependent on mitogenic
stimulation for its expression and function. c-myc transcribes a number of genes
involved in G1/S cell cycle progression, such as CDK4 and cdc25A
Which of the following are true for the c-myc gene? Select all that apply
In cancer or transformed cells, the c-myc gene mutation would be recessive, and
a loss of function mutation
The c-myc gene is a tumor suppressor gene
In cancer or transformed cells, the c-myc gene mutation would be dominant, and
a gain of function mutation
The c-myc gene is a proto-oncogene
