APC Is a Tumor Suppressor and Acts in the Wnt

APC is a tumor suppressor and acts in the Wnt signaling pathway to prevent the TCF complex from turning on Wnt-responsive genes.Mice that lack the gene encoding TCF4 do not have the ability to maintain the pool of proliferating gut stem cells needed to renew the gut lining.What do you predict will happen in mice that lack the APC gene?

A) Like the mice lacking TCF4, they will not be able to renew the gut lining.
B) They will have inappropriate proliferation of gut stem cells.
C) Mice lacking the APC gene will have a hyperactive Wnt receptor even though there is no Wnt signal.
D) Mice lacking the APC gene will be like normal healthy mice, since APC is a tumor suppressor and thus not needed unless there is a tumor present.
