Show transcribed image text The APC gene and the CTNNB1 gene interact to affect the likelihood of colon cancer. Beta-catenin, the product of the CTNNB1 gene promotes mitosis, and the APC protein blocks beta-catenin to prevent mitosis from occurring too often. Sort the following genotypes into categories that describe the likelihood of colon cancer in individuals with each genotype. A+ indicates a wild type allele, and a -indicates that the gene has been deleted.
