1. Explain BRIEFLY whether each of the following conditions will increase or decrease the chance of cancer: a. a mutation in the promoter region of a tumor suppressor gene that results in that gene being overexpressed (assume that the cell is heterozygous for the mutation) b. a mutation in the promoter region of a protooncogene that results in that gene being overexpressed (assume that the cell is heterozygous for the mutation) c. a homozygous mutation that completely eliminates the coding region of a protooncogene
