Explanation:

A proto-oncogene normally functions in a way that is much like a gas pedal. It helps the cell grow and divide. An oncogene could be compared with a gas pedal that is stuck down, which causes the cell to divide out of control

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.
