P53 is a tumor suppressor protein.   The protein is present in the cell at all times but is activated by protein kinases that are, in turned activated by DNA damage.  What would be the result of a mutation of the P 53 gene in cell that resulted in a form of P53 that was permanently active? Group of answer choices A. the cell cycle would be inhibited in all cells in a tumor if it forms B. the cell cycle would be inhibited C. the cell would form a tumor D. the cell has a higher probability of forming a tumor E. the cell cycle of all cells in the body would be inhibited

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information: P53 is a tumor suppressor protein.   The protein is present in the cell at all times but is activated by protein kinases that are, in turned activated by DNA damage. 

Given situation: A mutation of the P 53 gene in cell that resulted in a form of P53 that was permanently active.

To be answered: result in the given situation.

Mutation is basically the change in the sequence of the gene or the DNA that results and change in the protein due to the change in the amino acid sequence.
