What is the result of a BRCA mutation?   A. The person is more likely to develop cancer if other DNA in the cell mutates.   B. The person is less likely to develop cancer unless the BRCA region is methylated.   C. The person is less likely to develop cancer because the BRCA gene will inhibit the cell cycle checkpoints.   D. The person is more likely to develop cancer because the BRCA gene promotes an increased rate for mitosis.

Cancer cells generally have lost the ability to divide C. Oncogenes are non-human genes not related to normal genes in the human genome  D.
