Is being fat hereditary?

There is a genetic component to being overweight or obese, as certain genes can influence metabolism and fat storage. However, lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise also play a significant role in determining body weight. It's a combination of genetics and environment that ultimately influences a person's weight.


Which theory holds that some people have a genetic disposition toward fat storage and retaining weight?

The thrifty gene hypothesis suggests that certain individuals may have inherited genes that predispose them to efficiently storing fat as a survival mechanism during times of food scarcity. This theory proposes that individuals with these genetic traits may be more likely to store excess calories as fat, leading to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.


Is fat nucleic acid?

No, fat is not a nucleic acid. Fat, known scientifically as lipids, are molecules that store energy and provide structure to cell membranes. Nucleic acids, on the other hand, such as DNA and RNA, are molecules that store genetic information and are crucial for protein synthesis.


Is being left-handed a recessive trait?

What does a frameshift mutation do to the genetic code?

A frameshift mutation shifts the reading frame of the genetic code, causing all subsequent codons to be read incorrectly. This can lead to a completely different protein being produced, which can result in a variety of genetic disorders.

The fat pods in first-generation offspring occur due to genetic factors inherited from the parents. This trait is likely a dominant gene that is expressed in the first generation. Subsequent generations may show variations in the presence of fat pods as genetic recombination occurs.
