In Gear And Ready To Go.....
a: Creation of an oncogene ~
b: changing gears from Park to Drive
What: "Say, for example the alteration of the DNA is like the ignition of an unoccupied car being turned on. The transformation of a normal gene into an oncogene is like moving the gear from P (Park) to D (Drive)while the handbrake is still on. Inactivation of anti-oncogenes is akin to the
release of the handbrake and the car is now free to wander onto a highway and
cause mayhem"
