Question

which could mutations possibly lead to?
cancer
influenza
common cold

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Mutations can cause changes in DNA that disrupt normal cell - growth regulation. Cancer is a result of uncontrolled cell growth, which can be triggered by mutations in genes related to cell cycle control, apoptosis (programmed cell death), etc. Influenza and the common cold are caused by viruses (influenza virus and various cold - causing viruses like rhinoviruses). While viruses can mutate (e.g., antigenic shift and drift in influenza viruses), the diseases themselves are not the direct result of mutations in human cells in the same way cancer is. Cancer is a disorder where mutations in a person's own cells lead to the disease.
