Introduction
Hello my fellow steemian, am so glad to be in this community once again, this contest is very interesting and that’s the reason why decided to participate in it, I wish all the participants good luck..
What makes you unique, like having your mom's eyes or your dad's smile?
This question is just making me happy, because, in my family we are just 3, 2 boys and am the only girl.. in my family we all have different unique, for me I will tell you all that I and my mom face and smile are the same.. that is the only thing you can use to know she is my mom..
Why do some diseases run in families, like diabetes or heart conditions?
I will say, some diseases run in different families due to some genetic factors. Genes can influence some individual's susceptibility to some diseases, and some family members may inherit these genes.
shared environmental factors and lifestyle choices can add to the clustering of diseases within families. For example, families with a history of diabetes can have a higher likelihood of adopting unhealthy eating habits or even engaging in sedentary behaviors, which can add higher risk of developing the disease.
How do genes decide things like hair color, eye color, or even how tall you'll be?
Genes play an important role in determining traits which are hair color, eye color, and even height. All these traits are influenced by different genes, each with different variants or even alleles. Their combination of alleles an individual got it from their parents determines their specific trait. For example, hair color is affected by the interaction of genes responsible for producing the pigment melanin.
The quantity and distribution of melanin in the hair follicles determine an individual's hair color. Similarly, eye color is determined by the distribution of melanin in the iris, and even height is influenced by some genes controlling the growth and development.
Have you heard about DNA testing? how can it reveal your ancestry or health risks?
DNA testing need analyzing an individual's DNA to determine some aspects such as ancestry, health risks, and genetic traits. With this process, scientists can know specific genetic alleles associated with some geographic origins, which allow them to trace an individual's ancestry.
Meanwhile, DNA testing can help to know genetic variants associated with high risk of some health conditions. By knowing an individual's DNA, healthcare professionals can gives recommendations for disease prevention, early detection, and even treatment.
