-Do you look alike or different from your parents and siblings?
- Do you have any unique features from your siblings?
1- Read the following text about the importance of genetics.
Every person is unique. Part of what makes you unique is your genes. Genes are the instructions inside each of your cells. They control how you look and how your body works. Since everyone has slightly different genes, everyone has a different set of instructions. Genes are one reason why you are unique!
A person has two copies of each gene, one from the mother and one from the father. Genes carry instructions that tell your cells how to work and grow. Genetics helps to explain what makes you unique, or one of a kind and why family members look alike.
Children inherit pairs of genes from their parents. A child gets one set of genes from the father and one set from the mother. These genes can match up in many ways to make different combinations. This is why many family members look a lot alike and others don’t look like each other at all.
Why some diseases like diabetes or cancer run in families?
Some diseases are caused when there is a change in the instructions in a gene. This is called a mutation.
Every person has many mutations. Sometimes these changes have no effect or are even slightly helpful. But sometimes they can cause disease. For example, changes in your genes passed on by your parents may make you more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. If you are active and eat a healthy diet, you may be able to lower your risk.Taking time to learn about health and diseases that run in your family is worth it! It will help you understand
your own health and make healthy choices.

Every year on April 25 since 2003, scientists, biologists, and geneticist come together to observe National
DNA Day, celebrating the discovery and research into DNA and the scientific advancements that helped make progress possible. This event is organized annually by the Human Genome Research in the United State.
The goal of National DNA Day is to offer students, teachers and the public an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the latest advances in genomic research and explore how those advances impact their lives. National DNA Day encourages people to learn more about the science of genetics and its continuous development.Here are some facts you never know about your DNA. We’re all 99.9 percent alike, it means we’re all more similar than we are different. Our DNA is responsible for happiness and sadness. It’s in our DNA, in the form of a gene that causes some people to pay more attention to negative feelings than positive one.
