The genes are that are inherited not only determine physical characteristics such as height, eye colour and body shape, they also determine the rate and timing of development, genetic conditions and predisposition to disease that may not become apparent until adulthood. Faulty or altered genes can lead to genetic conditions that appear at time of birth or later on in adulthood, such as alzheimers disease and hunington disease.
