What makes you unique, like having your mom's eyes or your dad's smile?

Parents like everything. Their love and anger seem to find happiness in everything.

In the same way mother's eyes or father's smile like everything. When I was a child, I used to see my father leave for office in the morning and he used to come home late at night. Then I was asleep. After a long time like this, father was not seen properly.

I missed my father a lot. And when I used to see my father, I would look at his face and see my father. And I used to get a lot of pleasure out of myself by looking at this. I would have been very happy to see this if Dad had smiled.

Mother has no comparison. I love my mother very much. The smile on my mother's face is the most peaceful and happy thing in the world to me.. Mother has many contributions. So it is natural that the love of parents will always be in children.

Why do some diseases run in families, like diabetes or heart conditions?

Diabetes is a multifactorial disease and is caused by increased levels of insulin and glucose in the body. This disease is currently occurring in homes.

Heart disease is a complex disease, many people die due to this disease in the world. High blood pressure and high blood cholesterol are very dangerous.

Diabetes and heart disease are two of the most common diseases in human life today. Due to our dietary habits and lack of exercise, this disease is more likely to occur. Also, due to some genetic problems related to the family, or through the genetics of the children in the family, it is more happening. Therefore, these two diseases are more common.

How do genes decide things like hair color, eye color, or even how tall you'll be?

Hair color is caused by this gene. Melanin is a pigment that determines hair color.

Genes determine eye color based on how much melanin is produced in our iris. The more melanin produced, the darker the eye color.

80-90 percent of the height of a person depends on the height of the parents. If parents are tall then their sons and daughters will be tall. Because the effect of genes depends on the genes of the parents.

Have you heard about DNA testing? how can it reveal your ancestry or health risks?
