Question
### Understanding Tumor Suppressor Genes **Quiz Question:** Which one of these is a tumor suppressor gene? - ○ myc - ○ erbB - ○ Rb - ● Gasp In this multiple-choice question, learners are asked to identify which of the listed genes is a tumor suppressor gene. **Explanation of Choices:** - **myc**: This is an oncogene involved in cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and cellular transformation. - **erbB**: This is also an oncogene that plays a role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. - **Rb**: This is indeed a tumor suppressor gene involved in the regulation of the cell cycle. The Rb gene can prevent excessive cell growth by inhibiting cell cycle progression until a cell is ready to divide. - **Gasp**: This is a fictional gene and not actually a known player in tumor suppression or oncogenesis. **Correct Answer:** - ○ Rb (Despite the highlighted "Gasp" answer in the image, Rb is the correct tumor suppressor gene in this context.)
