A mutation in the promotor region of a gene can result in cancer. Which of these scenarios results in cancer?

a. The mutation is in the promoter region for an enzyme that metabolizes starch, such as amylase. Starch digestion is disrupted. b. The mutation is in the promoter region for a protein that controls rebuilding of the telomeres. As a result, these cells die prematurely. c. The mutation is in the promoter region for a protein that controls a key gate-keeper in the cell cycle.
