a) The genes encoding both the mitogen and Ras would be considered tumor
suppressors.
b) The mitogen and Ras would be encoded by genes classed as proto-
oncogenes and tumor suppressors, respectively.
O c) The mitogen and Ras would be encoded by genes classed as oncogenes and
tumor suppressors, respectively.
d) The genes encoding both the mitogen and Ras would be considered
oncogenes.
e) The genes encoding both the mitogen and Ras would be considered proto-
oncogenes.
