    The cell becomes oncogene, which is the gene that will make the cell cancerous.

    Explanation:

    The proto-oncogenes are normal cells, which are the original unmutated wild type alleles of oncogenes.

    The proto - oncogenes are found within the DNA and they control cell division. Their mutation cause a situation whereby the genes can no longer regulate cell division and the cell may grow into a tumor.
