Cancer is considered by many a primarily genetic disease. However,what role does a lifestyle choice, such as smoking or a high cholesterol diet, play in the development of cancer? (CLO 4)
Homework Answers
Role of lifestyle choice such as smoking or a high cholesterol diet in the development of cancer
The most common risk factors for cancer include aging, tobacco, sun exposure, radiation exposure, chemicals and other substances, some viruses and bacteria, certain hormones, family history of cancer, alcohol, poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight.
Having all these risk factors would lead to an increase in the number of people with cancer . Modifying our lifestyle such cessation of smoking ,having healthy diet etc will help us to prevent not only cancer but also other major disease condition like cardiovascular diseases ,stroke etc .

Adequate nutrition is a key component in maintaining a healthy immune system to defend against infectious diseases. Both deficient and excessive nutrients can harm the immune system. The same diet and lifestyle risk factors may contribute to several degenerative diseases. A person’s family history and laboratory test results can reveal strategies for disease prevention. Plaques of atherosclerosis trigger hypertension and abnormal blood clotting, leading to heart attacks or strokes. Major risk factors for CVD include age, gender, and family history,...

What role does control of gene expression play in the diversity of individuals of the same...
What role does control of gene expression play in the diversity of individuals of the same species within a population, and how does this individual diversity contribute to natural selection? Point mutations within the DNA are often considered neutral, in that they have no discernable effect on the phenotype of the affected individual. Why is this the case? What properties of the genetic code contribute to the neutrality of point mutations? Why are mutations that add or subtract nucleotides within...

1. Describe, use specific details, the lifestyle behaviors are you engaging in/not engaging in that are putting you at risk for cardiovascular disease and cancer. You can list these items with a sentence or two explaining why they are issues. For example: poor diet - I eat a lot of fried foods that are exposing me to high unhealthy fat levels and I drink too many sweet beverages such as sweet ice tea. I do not exercise enough. I walk...

Allan is a 55-year-old man. He used to play football in high school and be fairly active as a younger man, but now his physique is best described as husky at 6 feet tall and 215 pounds. He has worked as a real estate salesman for many years despite the fact that he's not especially social, so he experiences a fair bit of job stress and insecurity. Allan had a relatively minor heart attack (from coronary atherosclerosis) that weakened him...

1.what advantage does PGD offer over genetic testing of the fetus? 2. PGD is used primarily to look for embryos that have an abnormal chromosome that is known from a parent or to look for large chromosome structural abnomalities. True or false ? 3. For PGD, embryonic DNA information can be obtained by removing maetrial from the polar body, an early cleavage stage, or from the outer ring of the blastocyst. Using the blastocyst is the newest method, and it...
