A new mutation that arose in one copy of gene X in a somatic cell resulted in the formation of a tumor. Which of the following pieces of evidence best describes how the new mutation directly caused the tumor?

A) Protein X normally stimulates cell division, and the mutation created an overactive version of protein X B) Protein X normally activates a growth hormone receptor, and the mutation decreased the stability of protein X.
