Children can inherit certain diseases from their parents, particularly genetic disorders that are passed down through genes. These can include conditions like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington's disease. However, not all diseases are hereditary; some may arise due to environmental factors or lifestyle choices rather than genetics. Thus, while inheritance plays a role in some diseases, it is not the sole factor determining a child's health.

What do you mean by you cannot change what you inherit?

This refers to traits or characteristics that are passed down genetically and cannot be altered, such as eye color or blood type. While you cannot change your inherited genetic makeup, you can make choices that affect how your inherited traits are expressed, like eating healthily to mitigate genetic risks for certain diseases.


Can to blue eyed parents have brown eyed children?

Yes, it is possible for two blue-eyed parents to have children with brown eyes if both parents are carriers of the brown eye gene. Eye color is determined by multiple genes, so variations can occur in offspring even if both parents have the same eye color.


If a man has a Y trait what is the probability his daughter will have the same trait?

By definition, Y-linked diseases cannot pass to a daughter. X-linked diseases can, but many of them are mitigated or eliminated if the X from the mother does not possess the defect, in which case your daughter would be a carrier, and her sons would have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the disease.


If both parents are A positive can a child be B positive or negative?

Maybe. A child will have either the mother's blood type or the father's blood type. If the father is B+ and the mother is A- then it is possible that the children have the same father. So it all depends on both parent's blood type.Source: I am a 2nd year nursing student, and we had a long discussion about this subject last semester.

How do people get Huntington's Disease?

HD is a genetic disease- you do not "catch it" from anyone. But is is inherited from a parent, just as you inherit hair color. One of the parents has a defective gene, which causes them to develop HD. If one of their children inherits that gene, they will also develop HD. However, if they do NOT inherit that gene, they cannot develop HD, and cannot pss it to their children.
