Abnormal chromosomes are frequently found in malignant tumors. Errors such as translocations may place a gene in close proximity
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

B) expression of inappropriate gene products

Explanation:

Most of the cancers are caused when a normal gene that code for one or other proteins involved in the regulation of the cell cycle is mutated. The mutated gene may cause the production of the faulty gene products. For example, the overproduction of products of the protooncogene that push cells through the cell cycle leads to tumor formation. Likewise, when the tumor suppressor genes are not able to produce enough product to prevent progression through the cell cycle, cancer may develop.
