Because of how genetics works if the genes have a mutation there is a 50% chance of the individual actually getting the disease, genetically transmitted diseases are often lifelong such as down syndrome. All of this impacts an individual's personal health, because mutations can occur 5 - 10 times a day. ]]> 2017-06-29 23:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ayat_bhutta/sy21wcfi4x7r/wish/177778614 ayat_bhutta https://padlet.com/ayat_bhutta/sy21wcfi4x7r/wish/177779208  "Often, people don’t realize how much environmental factors can impact your health" (HCSD 2). The quality of one's environment is directly connected to one's personal health. In order to combat asthma one must keep a dusty free home, this can also combat second hand smoke (HCSD 2). In addition to this, the water quality impacts one's health immensely, poor water quality can make people very sick. ]]> 2017-06-29 23:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ayat_bhutta/sy21wcfi4x7r/wish/177779208 ayat_bhutta https://padlet.com/ayat_bhutta/sy21wcfi4x7r/wish/177779731 My friend has a little brother with down syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic disease, the family of my friend would never say say that it was negative and neither would I.
