|
|
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.
|
|
|
No. Detection of and treatments for breast cancer have improved so dramatically in recent years that it is unlikely she would develop breast cancer.

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, genetic engineering may involve adding a gene from one species to an organism from a different species to produce a desired trait. Used in research and industry, genetic engineering has been applied to the production of cancer therapies, brewing yeasts, genetically modified plants and livestock, and more.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Early examples of biotechnology include breeding animals and crops, and using microorganisms to make cheese, yoghurt, bread, beer and wine. Cheese and wine, made by fermentation, are early examples of biotechnology.
