10.05 8. The TP53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes for p53 proteins. This protein plays an active role in
identifying DNA damage in the G1 checkpoint and determining if the damage can be fixed. If the damage can
be fixed, the p53 protein activates other genes for the repair. If the damage cannot be fixed, the p53 protein
prevents cell division and signals for apoptosis. What is most likely to happen to a cell with a mutated TP53
gene?
A. The cell will stop dividing.
B. The cell will signal for repair.
C. The cell will become a cancer cell.
D. The cell will induce programmed cell death.
