The following statements are either accurate as written or contain some errors. You need to rewrite each as an accurate statement. Make sure that you do not change the material the sentence is about. Highlight or underline any changes that you make to statements. Thank you! 1. Cancer is caused by a single mutation in either a tumor suppressor gene or an oncogene. The reason that cancer rates increase with age is because our immune system is better at fighting mutations.  2. Pluripotent is the term used for cells that have already differentiated into all cell types within an organism. 3. Phenotypic variance is partitioned into genetic variance and additive variance. This also indicates that the amount of variance in the phenotype of individuals with the same genotype is solely based on heritability values.
