Conclusion Questions:
1. Why is it beneficial to learn your medical history? (5 pts)

To see if there is a disease that you may inherit or be a carrier for.

2. What role does genetics play in inherited diseases? (5 pts)

You have DNA from both your parents and they get DNA from their parents and so
on, Genetics can cause you to get a disease from your great great grandparents
or even further back. If you knew about there being a chance you can get it, then
you can also maybe prevent it.
