Using the gas pedal analogy, the proto-oncogene would be an accelerator since they promote cell division and deregulate apoptosis, while tumor suppressor would be the brakes since they constrain the progress of the cell cycle and induce cell apoptosis. An oncogene is, therefore, when the accelerator is stuck in down position and the brakes are not working.

Hello, Christylucia96!! Your best answer would be C - Stellar evolution. Nuclear fusion is what powers the stars. Nebular clouds are a bunch of stars, also where they are born. Stellar means star and evolution means changes throughout time. The Big Bang Theory states that space began with a few stars and an explosion happened, which created a bunch of different stars that we have today. I hope I helped!! Have a great evening!!
