Is it true that you will definitely inherit a genetic disease if both your parents show any sign of the disease?

IT depends if both parents have it on their genes (X and Y) as Dominant or Recessive, If one of them is dominant, you better expect to get it unless the other parent has a DOminant Counter-Gene

What are the possible causes of genetic variation?
Anaphase 1 - the crossing over of chromosomes, they swap genetic material determining what you genetically inherit
What is the difference between a genetic disorder and a genetic mutation?
A genetic disorder is something an individual is born with, and results from a problem within their genetic material. This means they have inherited the disease or disorder from their Mother or Father. You cannot inherit an infectious disease, you acquire it during your lifetime from a germ, such as a virus or a bacterium. You can also recover from an infectious disease, whereas you will always suffer from a genetic disorder if you inherit one.
What kind of diseases are the most common genetic diseases For example those in which both parents may be carriers of the disease without knowing it because they don't actually have the disease?

How do you obtain genetic materials?
you obtain genetic materials from your parents organisms.
What are genetic traits?
Genetic traits are variations of features passed on to offspring from there parents.
Do you have to be born with osteogenesis imperfecta to have it?
Yes, because it is a genetic disease you inherit from your parents.
Gaucher disease is caused by what genetic disorder?
Gaucher disease has a recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning that a person must inherit a copy of the defective gene from both parents in order to have the disease.
How can you inherit huntingtons disease?
Huntington's is a genetic disease meaning that it is inherited to offspring of effected parents. If one of your biological parents have it you are at risk. I would ask my doctor for genetic testing to see if I had it.
What is requires for a person to have sickle cell disease?
The person is homozygous for the trait
Is Marfan's symdrome a transmitted disease?
Marfan's syndrome is a genetic disorder, so one would inherit it from their biological parents. You can't "catch" marfans syndrome
Is it genetic whether you can fold your tongue or not?
Yes as it is something you can inherit from your parents.
How do you inherit Huntington's?
Huntingtons disease is inherited from your parents
Can MS be passed through your parents?
MS is not considered a hereditary disease, so it is not directly inherited through your parents. However, many genetic factors have been identified that increase the risk of the disease. This means that you may inherit genetics from your parents which increase the risk - but do not automatically mean you will have MS.
What influences Huntington's Disease?
Your parents. It is a genetically transmitted disease- you do not catch it, you inherit it from a parent.
What is a Co-dominant alleles disorder?
One example is Huntington's Disease. With a recessive genetic disorder, to develop the disorder, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents (odds, 1 in 4). With a dominant gene disorder, if you inherit the gene from ONE parent, you will develop that disorder (odds- 1 in 2).
How does a person get a genetic disease?
it is passed on by your parents
Can someone inherit muscular distrophy from their parents?
Yes. Most forms of muscular distrophy are genetic.
