A mutation that changes a gene,but not the protein product of that gene,will NOT cause cancer.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is because cancer is typically caused by mutations that affect the function of proteins involved in cell growth and division, which can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and the development of tumors. If a mutation does not affect the protein product of a gene, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on cell growth and division, and therefore is unlikely to cause cancer.
