2.76

The iliac region is associated with the hip and upper leg area. Hypochondriac is upper abdominal, lumbar is lower back, umbilical is around the navel. So the correct term for hip and upper leg is iliac.

A genome is the complete set of genetic information of an organism. A cell is a basic unit, gamete is a sex cell, gene is a segment of DNA. So genome fits.

Adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor from glandular tissue. Adenitis is inflammation, adenoma is benign tumor, adenosis is abnormal growth (not malignant tumor of glandular tissue). So adenocarcinoma is correct.

Answer:

iliac
