Question

Oncogenic viruses, such as certain human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause cancers. What is the most likely mechanism that certain HPVs use to promote cancer? View Available Hints) HPVs are likely induce recombination to promote cancer. HPVs likely induce cancer by modifying the nitrogen base of a DNA nucleotide located in an essential gene. HPVs are likely to induce cancer by inducing breaks in host cell DNA. HPVs induce cancer by causing thymine dimmers to develop in DNA Submit Reguest Answer

Answer 1

HPV induces cancer by inserting HPV genome into the host genomic DNA- Final DNA will be HPV DNA integrated with host DNA. This is basically recombination of Viral DNA with Human (host) DNA. This gene expression causes cancer.

Answer is HPVs are likely induce recombination to promote cancer
