Question

if someone is predisposed to a disease, they are more likely to contract the disease due to ______. a. lifestyle choices b. heredity c. random chance d. factors other than heredity or lifestyle please select the best answer from the choices provided. ○ a ○ b ○ c ○ d

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Lifestyle choices are actions a person takes (like diet, exercise), but a predisposition to a disease due to lifestyle is more about acquired risk, not inherent predisposition.
• Option B: Heredity refers to genetic factors passed down. A predisposition to a disease often comes from genetic inheritance, meaning the person has a higher likelihood due to their genes.
• Option C: Random chance doesn't explain a predisposition, as predisposition implies a known or inherent factor increasing risk.
• Option D: If it's a predisposition, it's likely due to heredity or lifestyle, so this is incorrect.

So the best answer is B as heredity is a key factor in disease predisposition.

Answer:

B. heredity
