Which of the following scenarios would result in increased expression of the c-myc
gene?
Select all that apply.
A homozygous mutation of the EGFR gene resulting in a deletion of the ligand
binding domain
A homozygous mutation of the ras gene so that Ras protein was not able to
exchange GDP for GTP
A homozygous mutation of the MAPK gene so that MAPK protein was always in
a phosphorylated state
A homozygous mutation of the ras gene so that Ras protein was not able to
hydrolyze GTP for GDP
