  • B

    Apoptotic genes that trigger programmed cell death

  • C

    Tumor suppressors that halt the cell cycle

  • D

    Heritable plasmids that transfer between cells

Explanation

Normal proto-oncogenes (e.g., Ras) regulate growth; mutated overactive forms become oncogenes that push the cell to divide inappropriately.
