NEET 2016 Biology question

Which of the following statements is not true for cancer cells in relation to mutations?

(1)Mutations in proto - oncogenes accelerate the cell cycle
(2)Mutations destroy telomerase inhibitor
(3)Mutations inactivate the cell control
(4)Mutations inhibit production of telomeraseCorrect

Answer: (4)

Solution

Cancer cells arise through mutations that convert proto-oncogenes into oncogenes (accelerating the cell cycle), inactivate tumour-suppressor/cell-cycle control genes, and destroy inhibitors of telomerase; so the enzyme
