Answer:

D. All of the above

Explanation:

P53 is a tumor protein. It is often referred to as the "guardian of the genome". It can stop the cell from growing, repairs DNA and controls cell death, which is called apoptosis. As the cell is cycle goes on, p53 stops the growth of the cell when there is an error or damage in the DNA. This action prevents the defective cell from replicating. The p53 then signals the production of proteins that repair DNA. If the DNA is not fixable, it programs apoptisis.

If by some chance that the p53 gene are mutated, then it cannot do those functions, which may result in cancer or the uncontrolled replication of defective cells.

RNA, touches nearly everything in a cell. RNA carries out a broad range of functions, from translating genetic information into the molecular machines and structures of the cell to regulating the activity of genes during development, cellular differentiation, and changing environments. RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme. RNA polymerase using DNA as a template, a process known as transcription. The enzyme then progresses along the template strand.
