a cell in a pancreas has a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 18. during cell division, a mistake occurs in the copying of this chromosome. a series of DNA base pairs is deleted, including the bases that make up the tumor suppressor gene. what effect will this mutation most likely have on the cell?
1. the cell will now develop into an oncogene.
2. the cell will no longer be able to manufacture insulin.
3. the cell will divide faster than it did before the mutation took place.
4. no effect, since DNA repair enzymes fix all mistakes.
5. the cell will reduce its rate of mitosis.
