Approximately how many human genes are strongly supported as cancer-critical genes?

~300, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.

How many cryptochrome genes are present in Arabidopsis?

That points to C: Three. Compared with the other options, Three is the one that correctly describes the cryptochrome concept. The wrong ones are A) One; B) Two; D) Five. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.
