Answer 1

Oncogene is responsible for cancer

Answer 2

Answer:

An oncogene is responsible for causing cancer.

Explanation:

Proto-oncogenes are responsible for normal cell growth. But sometimes, the gene mutates and turns into what can be called a "bad" gene, it becomes the potential source of producing cancer cells. These cells that turn bad are called oncogenes. They grow at an exponential rate.

Gene mutation can be inherited in some cases. While in others, the mutation of the gene may take place due to exposure in an environment that contains cancer-causing substances.
