Which of the following best describes the effects of inheriting one copy of a loss-of-function mutation in a gene coding for a protein involved in DNA repair? Selected answer will be automatically saved. For keyboard navigation, press up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a b It would increase cancer susceptibility because it would be a dominant mutation at the molecular level. C It would have little effect on cancer susceptibility because most cancer results from somatic mutations. d It would increase cancer susceptibility because a somatic mutation in the other copy would result in defective DNA repair in some cell lineages. It would have little effect on cancer susceptibility because the other functional copy of the gene would result in effective DNA repair.
