Gas pedal that works normally and help the cell divide can be compare is:
- Proto-oncogenes are genes that normally help cells to grow.
- When proto-oncogene changes or there are too many copies, it becomes a "bad" gene that can be permanently opened or activated where it should not be.
- When this happens, the cell grows out of control, which can lead to cancer.
- This malignant gene is called oncogene.
- It may be helpful to think of the cell as a car.
- For it to work properly, there must be ways to control how fast it is.
- Proto-oncogene usually works in the same way as a gas pedal.
- It helps the cell to grow and divide.
- The oncogene can be compared to a gas pedal trapped on the ground, causing the cell to disintegrate uncontrollably.
