Oncogenes are most like the gas pedal on a car, while tumor suppressor genes are most like the brakes on a car. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are mutated in cancer cells.

Oncogenes are genes overexpressed in cells in which they should not be expressed, thereby leading to cancer.

Some examples of oncogenes are growth factors such as, for example, the  Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or Epidermal growth factor (EGF).

Conversely, tumor suppressor genes are genes that act to regulate cell division and replication, thereby their inactivation also leads to cancer.

A well-known example of a tumor suppressor gene is the p53 gene that acts to control cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

In McMillen and Austin’s research (1971), participants who had lied were more likely to volunteer a large amount of time.

Explanation:

The research work conducted by Mcmillen and Austin in the year 1971, included  college students as participants of the research. In this process they are asked to perform a small test of intelligence. One portion of them was asked to cheat and lie and the rest were left not to cheat.

After finishing the test, the participants were asked to help the administrator to conduct the next round of test for other slot of participants. It was seen that the students who did not lie or cheat, helped them in their work for about 2 minutes. But students, who did lie, stayed and helped for 53 minutes.
