Select the statements that accurately describe different ways that translocations could lead to cancer.
a. a new sequence is added to a proto‑oncogene. the modified gene now produces a new protein that increases the rate of cell division.
b. a gene for a protein that is involved in a mitotic checkpoint is placed next to the regulatory sequence of a different gene. the gene is now expressed at inappropriate times.
c. a translocation disrupts a gene that encodes a protein required to pass through mitotic checkpoints. the resulting protein cannot function normally.
d. a gene for a protein that stimulates apoptosis is placed next to a regulatory sequence that increases the expression of the gene.
e. a translocation disrupts the sequence of a gene for a protein that stimulates apoptosis. the resulting protein cannot function properly.
