During cell replication the genetic information is passed to the new cells. There are endless numbers of possible combinations for these ]]> 2016-11-17 14:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/austin_conrad/uleheiuczbga/wish/138411623 austin_conrad https://padlet.com/austin_conrad/uleheiuczbga/wish/138411686 The environmental factors can impact your health in very many ways. Indoor air quality, water quality, food quality and sights and sounds. Things like mold and dust can contribute to the development of things like asthma and allergies. Also things like secondhand smoke in homes and workplaces can have a significant risk because of how nearly 50 chemicals have been found to cause cancer. You must have clean and fresh water because water containaing lead can cause damage to the brain and red blood cells. Also food quality is important because food with high amounts of pesticides can cause nerve damage and cancer. Also food that goes through a lot of shipping and processing can be unsafe because of the exposure to pollutions and and other emissions. Noise can increase stress levels and over time can lead to things like heart disease and high blood pressure. ]]> 2016-11-17 14:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/austin_conrad/uleheiuczbga/wish/138411686 austin_conrad https://padlet.com/austin_conrad/uleheiuczbga/wish/138411818 My cousin was affected by the enviornment because he has asthma. The doctors are saying it was probably from the mold that was in their old house which had a lot of mold. Luckily they have moved to a new much safer house. They could have prevented him getting asthma if they would have discovered the mold earlier, before he got asthma.]]> 2016-11-17 14:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/austin_conrad/uleheiuczbga/wish/138411818 austin_conrad https://padlet.com/austin_conrad/uleheiuczbga/wish/138584508 Scientists have identified more then 4,000 diseases that are caused by mutations. But just because you have a disease doesn't mean that you will develop the condition because most people carry 5-10 genes with mutations in each of their cells. Sometimes when an egg and sperm unite the new cell gets too many or too few chromosomes which can cause many issues for the child. Things like down syndrome can occur through a genetic disorder.]]> 2016-11-17 23:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/austin_conrad/uleheiuczbga/wish/138584508
