|
|
Yes. Some forms of breast cancer have been linked to a gene mutation which she may have inherited from her mother’s side of the family.
|
|
|
Yes. While there does not seem to be a genetic link with breast cancer, she has been exposed to the same environmental factors as the rest of her family.
|
|
|
No. The causes of breast cancer have not been completely identified so she is probably at no greater risk than any other woman in the population.
|

Detailed explanation-1: -Today, the five branches into which modern biotechnology is divided-human, environmental, industrial, animal and plant-help us fight hunger and disease, produce more safely, cleanly and efficiently, reduce our ecological footprint and save energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -From the Ebola vaccine to mapping human DNA to agricultural impacts, medical biotechnology is making huge advancements and helping millions of people. Some of the most recent uses of biological tech is work in genetic testing, drug treatments, and artificial tissue growth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biotechnology provides farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. For example, some biotechnology crops can be engineered to tolerate specific herbicides, which make weed control simpler and more efficient.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome.
