Question

which could mutations possibly lead to?
common cold
influenza
cancer

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Mutations can disrupt normal cell - growth regulation. When genes involved in cell cycle control, apoptosis (programmed cell death), or DNA repair are mutated, it can lead to uncontrolled cell division. This uncontrolled cell division is a hallmark of cancer. The common cold is caused by viruses (such as rhinoviruses) and influenza is caused by influenza viruses. These are viral infections and not directly caused by mutations in the host's cells in the same way that cancer can be related to mutations in the host's DNA.

Answer:

cancer
