Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tumor suppressor genes are responsible for stopping the activity of genes that function abnormally and can cause abnormal cell duplication leading to cancer. These genes help to regulate cell growth, prevent DNA damage, and control cell death (apoptosis). When tumor suppressor genes are mutated or inactive, it can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and the development of cancer.
