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.
Answer:
Ximena's mom returned with the lab report of her blood lipid profile. Her HDL cholesterol was low and her LDL cholesterol levels were high. The doctor asked her to look closely at her diet. He asked her to increase unsaturated fats and to decrease saturated fats in her diet
Explanation:
Lipids are the most diverse range of compounds that are nonpolar in nature. The lipids are components of the cell membranes. They are formed of fatty acids, glycerol and a phosphate group. In the fatty acids of the unsaturated fats, there are the presence of double bonds. However, in case of the saturated fats, the double bonds are absent. Such fats are saturated with hydrogens atoms. A type of lipid that play important roles in the body is cholesterol.
There are two types of lipoprotein that carry cholesterol in blood. The HDL or high density lipoprotein is termed as good cholesterol, as it carries the cholesterol back to the liver to eliminate it from the body. LDL or low density lipoprotein is the bad cholesterol, as it carries cholesterol and accumulates it in the arteries to form plaques. A lipid profile is a routine blood test that assess the levels of HDL and LDL in blood. Increase in unsaturated fat causes rise in HDL, that is good for cardiovascular health.
