- What is the normal function of a tumor suppressor gene? What happens when it
becomes defective? Name an example of a tumor suppressor gene and briefly describe
its relation to cancer. - Answer-- Normallty function to restrain cell growth

- When defective, it helps in the growth of cancer formation; they lose their ability to
