Yes. For example if cancer if very common in your family, you likely have genes that are more susceptible to it. That's why people say "its hereditary." It means its caused by your genes. If this is hereditary for you, you are more likely to die from cancer.

Which hair colour grows the fastest?
hair color doesn't effect it. It all has to do with genes, health of your hair, and diet.
How does chance affect combinations of genes?
genetic drift is the change in genes due solely to chance.bottleneck effect and founder's effect are both examples of how chance effects the genes.
What effect does genetically modified food have on your genes?
Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods. In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.

What are the health effects of liquefied petroleum gas?
No effect on health No effect on health
Does crossing over affect one or many genes?
Crossing over can effect on more then one gene i.e. at least two as in crossing over the genes of homologus chromatin get interchanged so it effect at least two genes and can effect or change more then two genes depend upon the linking and crossing over capability
What is the study of how genes are transferred from parents to their children and the role of genes in health and disease is known as?
Genetics
What is the Cumulative effect of two pairs of genes?
A kid
What is the interactive nature of polygenic genes?
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.
How does chance affect gene combinations?
genetic drift is the change in genes due solely to chance.bottleneck effect and founder's effect are both examples of how chance effects the genes.
What are supplementary genes?
Supplementary genes are two independent pairs of genes interacting in such a manner that one dominant factor produces its effect whether the other is present or not, while the second gene can produce its effect only in the presence of the first.
What effect does eating GMO food have on your genes?
Some say GMO foods have no effect on genes. Others say they do, but those people are often referred to as conspiracy theorists, unscientific, or a variety of other things. In reality, we probably don't know what effect, if any, eating GMO foods has on our genes.
