Transcript of Gene mapping slide show
WHAT IS GENE MAPPING?
Its when scientists decode you DNA, to find out different things about you. In this case the topic is health.
CAN GENE MAPPING SOLVE HEALTH MYSTERIES?
No, studies show that out of thousands of identical twins with their shared genes can develop different diseases.
MY THOUGHTS…
Genetics cant help you figure out what diseases you can get, there are risk factors you can try and prevent.
All in all don’t look to your genes just try to prevent things as much as you can before its to late… don’t smoke if you don’t want cancer. Don’t consume to much alcohol if you don’t want liver problems.
WHAT I LEARNED:
You can find a lot in DNA, just not everything. “Today, scientists map entire genomes
mostly for research” that gene mapping does not customize care
for certain people.
