Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oncogene proteins serve to directly accelerate the cell cycle by promoting cell growth and division. Tumor suppressor genes, repressors, and the p53 gene all function to slow down the cell cycle and prevent uncontrolled growth. Carcinogens may indirectly accelerate the cell cycle by causing mutations in oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes.
