Explain the advantage of the systems biology approachto studying cancer versus the approach of studying asingle gene at a time.

Describe two mechanisms by which genetic change causes cancer.

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.
