Melanoma is cancer of the skin that originates with uncontrolled division of a melanocyte (pigment cell). While there are genetic tests available to screen for melanoma, they are not appropriate for all individuals

However, an individual's risk can be estimated through the use of pedigree analysis. An individual's risk of developing melanoma increases if one or more first-degree relative (mother, father, brother, sister, child) has had melanoma. Which of the following are likely explanations for this increased risk? A. inheritance of a gene mutation that predisposes the individual to developing cancer similarity in lifestyles among individuals of the same family line (e.g., use of tanning beds or time outside in the sun) B. the high likelihood of multiple family members developing identical somatic cell mutations later in life C. Both answer options are likely explanations.
