Paper 1
The study of genes, inheritance and how inherited differences affect characteristics and health.
Revise: Ideas About the Cause of DiseaseDuring the twentieth century, scientists developed a better understanding of two other influences on health: genetic inheritance and lifestyle.
Distinguish understanding a disease’s cause from diagnosing it: genetics helps explain inherited illness, while a scan can help identify an illness in a particular patient.
Describe lifestyle and genetic factors as increasing risk where appropriate, rather than making disease inevitable.
