Lung cancer caused by smoking is not hereditary, as it results from the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoke on lung cells rather than genetic transmission. While smoking can lead to mutations in the smoker's DNA, these changes are not passed on to offspring. Children may inherit a predisposition to certain cancers, but the direct cause of lung cancer from smoking is environmental and lifestyle-related, not genetic. Thus, children are not at risk of inheriting lung cancer from a parent's smoking habits.
What else can I help you with?
Who passed the law for smoking in public places?
heather crow was dying of lung cancer and had a law passed about smoking in restaurants
What are the chances of hereditary cancer being passed on?
It depends on the specific type of cancer and other factors in you and your grandfathers' lives. Some cancers are highly influenced by heredity, but others, such as lung cancer from smoking or skin cancer from overexposure to the sun, are caused more by behaviors you may not share with your grandfather.
Is lung cancer environmental?
Depends. Lung cancer can be caused by environmental features, like bad air conditioning in one's working area, asbestos and/or smoke. Still the most common carsinogen that causes lung cancer is smoking. Passive smoking could be counted as an environmental factor in the cause of lung cancer, but when was the last time you heard of someone getting lung cancer from passive smoking?
Is retinoblastoma cancer a inherited cancer?
In layman's terms... There is a potential for the disease to have a genetic component that can be passed onto the children. However it is quite rare for retinoblastoma to be caused by a genetic reason. In summary.. There is the potential but unlikely
Can you get lung cancer from smoking?
Not a doctor.. but my friend whom I met at kindy-gym/playgroup in a small south coast town, didn't smoke and had two young children..(breast - fed etc...)..she passed away last year at age 37. Now again no doctor...... but really NOT a smoker and a healthy woman.. rip Kylie
Did Rev Clay Evans of Chicago have any children?
He has five children. One passed from cancer in '96.
Does Rob Grill of the Grass Roots have children?
One son who has since passed from cancer.
If your parents have leukemia do you have it?
no of course not. cancer is caused by a mutation in a cell that spreads and not in a sex cell witch is how genes are passed on.
Can you get cancer from spit?
No, you cannot get cancer from spit. Cancer is not transmitted by any bodily fluids. Cancer is caused by your lifestyle, diet, tobacco use, lack of exercise, sun exposure without sunscreen. It is not passed from person to person.
If a woman developed skin cancer as result of a mutated gene in the skin cells of her arms could she pass skin cancer gene to her children justify your answer?
Skin cancer that arises from mutations in skin cells, such as those caused by UV exposure, is typically not hereditary and therefore cannot be passed to children. This is because these mutations occur in somatic cells, which are not involved in reproduction. However, if the woman has a hereditary genetic mutation linked to a higher risk of skin cancer—such as in genes like BRCA1 or BRCA2—then she could potentially pass that genetic predisposition to her children. In this case, while the specific skin cancer may not be inherited, the increased susceptibility to developing certain cancers could be passed on.
Why can't mutations that occur in non reproductive cells result in evolution?
If mutations in occur in autosomes, they can not be passed on. If you get cancer from smoking, you can't pass that cancer on to your children. Only changes in sex cells can be passed on and these can cause enough of a change that would be evolutionary. Many people have changes in sex cells but most don't make any change as far as evolution. Perhaps a second thumb might happen but that probably will not change the human race.
Is smoking communicable or non communicable disease?
No, heart disease is not communicable, in that it cannot be passed directly from person to person.
