Question 2
12.5 pts
A patient who has been diagnosed with cancer has been given a blood test in order for their
doctors to investigate the patient's genetic code. What information from the test would help
confirm the patient's cancer diagnosis?
Cell increasing their chromosome number due to the occurrence of cancer cells.
Gametes becoming diploid cells due to the introduction of cancerous cells.
O A genetic mutation in a protein controlling his cell's cycles leading to cancerous tumors.
Somatic cell production being inhibited by his cancer cells.

The blood test performed on the patient, with the investigation of his genetic code, would help to shape the diagnosis of cancer based on information about a genetic mutation in a protein controlling his cell's cycles leading to cancerous tumors.

Explanation:

Cancer is a disease characterized by the appearance of malignant tumors produced by abnormal replication of a cell line and the increase of tissue dependent on it.

Somatic cells are capable of replication, to make tissues grow, renew or repair them, counting with control mechanisms that stop cell division at an opportune moment.

A genetic mutation can alter a cell cycle regulating protein and lead to uncontrolled cell division and the production of cancerous tumors.

type 2 happens when excess consumption of high-sugar foods flood the blood supply with glucose and reduce the production and effectiveness of insulin. if a person has prediabetes, they can reduce the risk of full diabetes through regular exercise and a balanced, low-sugar diet.
