Which of the following statements about tumor suppressor genes is false? Gene amplification of a tumor suppressor gene is less dangerous than gene amplification of a proto-oncogene. Cells with one functional copy of a tumor suppressor gene will usually proliferate faster than normal cells. p53 is a tumor suppressor gene. Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes leads to enhanced cell survival and proliferation. A mutation in a tumor-suppressor gene that renders the tumor-suppressor protein to be constitutively active often leads to cancer.

tumor suppressor commonly referred to as antioncogene gene can be define as protein making gene that produces specific protein that helps control cell growth. usually a mutation gene of the tumor suppressor will bring about cancer that is a mutation which causes abnormality in the growth can alter the cell and bring about cancer. they are also called brakes as they help obstruct,brake and act as a suppressor of tumor/cancer.

Answer:

Cells with one functional copy of a tumor suppressor gene will usually proliferate faster than normal cells.

Explanation:

For tumor suppressor genes, the cancer-causing mutations generated are recessive meaning that both copies/alleles of the normal gene must be removed or inactivated in the diploid somatic cell before an effect is seen i.e. they act in a recesnsive loss of function maner.
