Explanation:

A proto-oncogene is a<em> normal gene that usually can stimulate growth and differentiation but if it mutates can become an oncogene and cause cancer</em>. In order to test this gene, you can <em>activate it by promoting its mutation with a DNA amplification (like the one you did in the question) or a chromosomal translocation,</em> then you can observe it in a culture <em>if there's cell transformation you can confirm your hypothesis.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Answer:

The Big Bang THEORY

Explanation:

They think an explosion occurred in space to create collisions between molecules. These collisions created the planets and life as we know it. They don't know where these molecules came from and it's never been proven, which completely debunks this theory for me.
