Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Unbeknownst to her or her care team, a 51-year-old woman's breast cancer has an etiology rooted in the fact that tumor suppressor genes are present but have been silenced. Consequently, she has not synthesized normal cancer-suppressing proteins and neoplasia has resulted. What process has accounted for the woman's cancer?

A. Chromosomal translocation

B. The “two-hit” hypothesis of carcinogenesi s

C. Epigenetic mechanisms

D. A DNA repair defect

Answer:  C. Epigenetic mechanisms

Explanation:

In cancer epigenetics the modification of the DNA of the cancer cells occur which will not cause the change in the nucleotide sequence rather it will affect the way, through which the genetic code is being expressed in the body. In cancer different type of epigenetic mechanisms can result which may cause silencing of the tumor suppressor genes, modification of the histone, dysregulation of proteins of DNA, alteration of the methylation pattern of DNA.

According to the given situation, is an example of the epigenetic mechanism of cancer. This is because the tumor suppressor genes of cancer cells are present but these are silenced, that is they are non-functional as a result of this the cancer-suppressing proteins will not be synthesized in the body. This entire condition will be contributing to the neoplasia.

Cell growth and progression through the cell cycle is a process that requires tight regulation. We have specific genes that can
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

When there is a malfunction of the cell reproduction sequence regardless of the cause (whether it is damaged by mutation, internal or external disruption of the cell reproduction cycle or other factors, the most approximate result is Cancerous growth.

Explanation:

The genes which regulate cell growth can be likened to the brakes of a vehicle. The brakes ensure the car stops when it has to. This prevents accidents, damages, death and destruction of property.

When the mechanism for the replication and replacement of cells go out of control, all sorts of malformations emerge. We term them cancerous tissues.

Cheers!
