Card 8 / 14:
What is a possible result of a mutation in a kinase that controls a pathway that stimulates cell growth?
If a kinase is mutated so that it is always activated, it will continuously signal through the pathway and lead to uncontrolled growth and possibly cancer. If a kinase is mutated so that it cannot function, the cell will not respond to ligand binding.
