Causes of Disease

Question 9 • Health Science Concepts A1 – EDGNTY-83861 26-27

Which of the following is true about genetics and disease?

Answer
A
All diseases are caused indirectly from genes.
B
Sometimes genes need to be triggered by other factors before any disease develops.
C
Serious diseases only develop in family members who live together.
D
Genes are passed from children to parents

Explanation

Some genes can increase a person’s risk of disease without causing the disease on their own. Environmental or other factors may need to trigger the disease’s development, so choice B is true. Diseases are not all caused by genes, and genes are inherited from parents by children—not the other way around.
