Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Mutation causes cancer which is in general acquired i.e developing due to the habits of an individual. Some common factors that lead to acquired mutation are – smoking, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, viruses injection etc. Such factor interrupts with the genetic code of the normal cell and lead to uncontrolled division of cell thereby causing cell mas or cell clot which eventually becomes tumor and cancer.  

Hence, option D is correct

Beneficios y desventajas de la modificación genetica
finlep [7]
La manipulación genética representa todas aquellas técnicas que permiten modificar de forma directa los genes en el interior de las células de los organismos vivos. Estas modificaciones pueden ser a través de la inserción, la eliminación o la alteración de uno o más genes específicos. Todas las instrucciones que hacen que un organismo sea lo que es están codificadas en los genes, es decir que estos fragmentos de ADN son los que le indican a cada parte de las células y a cada célula en el cuerpo de un organismo multicelular o unicelular, qué debe hacer, cuándo y cómo. La manipulación genética es uno de los procesos científicos biotecnológicos más empleados hoy en día, ya que incluye todas las herramientas necesarias para modificar las características físicas de prácticamente cualquier ser vivo o, mejor dicho, de todo lo que tenga información genética en su interior (ADN o ARN).

Hoy en día la manipulación genética es uno de los temas más discutidos por la sociedad científica, pues existen herramientas biotecnológicas capaces de manipular de manera fácil y efectiva casi cualquier gen que se desee en un organismo Entre los organismos que se pueden “manipular genéticamente” se incluye al ser humano, y es allí donde surgen la mayoría de los debates, ya que a pesar de que la manipulación genética puede ayudar a curar un gran número de enfermedades hereditarias, también puede utilizarse para crear armas biológicas sumamente peligrosas.
