Question

1.2: matching activity
match the term with the correct definition.
□ behavioral factors
□ deoxyribonucleic acid (dna)
□ genes
□ genetic disorders
□ protective factors
□ risk factors
a. deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) segments that contain the blueprint for the structure and function of a person’s cells; affect development, personality, and health.
b. health conditions that develop due to a person’s genes; do not require the presence of other risk factors.
c. choices and behaviors that affect a person’s chance of developing a disease, unhealthy condition, or injury.
d. aspects of people’s lives that reduce risk and increase the likelihood of optimal health.
e. chemical that carries genetic information, which determines many traits; found in chromosomes.
f. aspects of people’s lives that increase the chances they will develop a disease or disorder or experience an injury or decline in health.

Explanation:

To solve this matching activity, we analyze each term and its corresponding definition:

1. Behavioral Factors

Definition C: "Choices and behaviors that affect a person’s chance of developing a disease, unhealthy condition, or injury." (Behavioral factors relate to choices/behaviors impacting health.)
Match: Behavioral Factors → C

2. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)

Definition A: "Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) segments that contain the blueprint for the structure and function of a person’s cells; affect development, personality, and health." (This directly defines DNA.)
Match: Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) → A

3. Genes

Definition E: "Chemical that carries genetic information, which determines many traits; found in chromosomes." (Genes are the chemical units of genetic information in chromosomes.)
Match: Genes → E

4. Genetic Disorders

Definition B: "Health conditions that develop due to a person’s genes; do not require the presence of other risk factors." (Genetic disorders are health issues caused by a person’s genes.)
Match: Genetic Disorders → B

5. Protective Factors

Definition D: "Aspects of people’s lives that reduce risk and increase the likelihood of optimal health." (Protective factors reduce health risks.)
Match: Protective Factors → D

6. Risk Factors

Definition F: "Aspects of people’s lives that increase the chances they will develop a disease or disorder or experience an injury or decline in health." (Risk factors increase health risks.)
Match: Risk Factors → F

Final Matches:

• Behavioral Factors: C
• Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA): A
• Genes: E
• Genetic Disorders: B
• Protective Factors: D
• Risk Factors: F

Match: Genetic Disorders → B

5. Protective Factors

Definition D: "Aspects of people’s lives that reduce risk and increase the likelihood of optimal health." (Protective factors reduce health risks.)
Match: Protective Factors → D

6. Risk Factors

Definition F: "Aspects of people’s lives that increase the chances they will develop a disease or disorder or experience an injury or decline in health." (Risk factors increase health risks.)
Match: Risk Factors → F

Final Matches:

• Behavioral Factors: C
