- Discuss the interplay between genetics and environment in the development of cancer (it would be helpful to focus on one tumor suppressor/disease to narrow the scope of the discussion). Which factor (genetics or environment) is playing a larger role within your chosen context? Justify your argument.arrow_forwardStudies have shown that there are significant differences in cancer rates among different ethnic groups. For example, the Japanese have very high rates of colon cancer but very low rates of breast cancer. It has also been demonstrated that when members of low-risk ethnic groups move to high-risk areas, their cancer risks rise to those of the high-risk area. For example, Japanese who live in the United States, where the risk of breast cancer is high, have higher rates of breast cancer than do Japanese who live in Japan. What are some of the possible explanations for this phenomenon? What factors may explain why the Japanese have higher rates of colon cancer than do other ethnic groups?arrow_forwardSequencing the human genome, the development of microarray technology, and personal genomics promise to improve our understanding of normal and abnormal cell behavior.
