Which of the following effectively describes the situation of someone with an inherited predisposition to cancer such a familial adenomatous polyposis or BRCA-associated familial breast cancer?
a) Every cell of their body contains a gain-of-function allele of an oncogene
b) Most cells in their body contain multiple cancer-causing mutations
c) If they get malignant cancer, somatic mutations will not have been a factor
d) Their cancer will most likely arise in their germ cells, not their somatic cells
e) None of the answers effectively describes the situation
f) Every cell of their body contains a defective, loss-of-function allele of a tumor suppressor gene

Answer :

Answer:

Every cell of their body contains defective , loss of function allele of a tumor suppressor gene

Explanation:

Tumor suppressor genes - They encode Proteins that inhibit cell proliferation . But due to Loss of functional alleles in Tumor suppressor genes it leads to the development of different cancers

Every cell of the body comprises of a defective and loss-of-function allele of a tumor suppressor gene.

The presence of defective and non-functioning tumor suppressor gene is responsible for the happening of cancer disease because the tumor suppressor gene slow down the process of cell division as well as repair mistakes occur in DNA molecule. When the tumor suppressor genes can't perform its function properly, it causes out of control growth of cell, which can lead to cancer disease so we can conclude that tumor suppressor gene is responsible for the cancer disease.
