It happens because of Point mutation

Explanation:

A point mutation can be understood as when one nucleotide is added, deleted or changed. Through change in DNA structure a gene can be altered and it is called mutation. Point mutation’s other term is insertion as well as deletion. It mostly involves in substitution.

Rarely, Point mutation is responsible for huge change. Basically, two types of point mutation happen. They are transition or transversion mutations.

If your body has developed a tolerance to a medication you're taking, it means the medication at your current dose has stopped working as effectively as it once did. It might mean your body becomes used to the medication, and you don't get the same benefits or effects as before. Drug tolerance is indicative of drug use but is not necessarily associated with drug dependence or addiction. The process of tolerance development is reversible and can involve both physiological factors and psychological factors.

n cancer cells one allele of the tumor suppressor gene p53 is frequently mutated so that the protein is inactive, not produced,
artcher [175]

Answer:

If the cancer cell's DNA is sequenced than the anticipated results will be that the cytosines in or close to the promoter region will get methylated. It has been stated that in the cancer cells one allele of p53 is mutated and the other allele, however, of exhibiting an intact promoter, does not express the protein.  

Thus, it shows that the expression in the other allele gets suppressed by methylation rather than by mutation. Methylation generally takes place in CpG islands in or close to the promoter region and therefore inhibits transcription.
