The correct response is **oncogenes; tumor suppressor**.
Mutations in oncogenes can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, while mutations in tumor suppressor genes can impair the regulation of the cell cycle and allow for the survival of damaged cells, both of which can contribute to cancer development.
