When the body is in a state of "dis-ease" the systems in our body do not function the way that they do when we are in a state of "ease". In a study of two adult twin sisters age 54, Beth and Mary, scientists were trying to understand why these twins had very different body weights and why Mary was suffering from a gastrointestinal disease yet her sister was healthy. They studied the healthy twin (Beth) to see if they could learn anything about her sisters disease from studying her. They were raised in the same house until they went to different colleges (Beth stayed in London and Mary lived along the coast line in a farm town in France). They were both mostly healthy throughout their childhood although Mary had a very sensitive stomach and suffered from allergies. Through the use of questionarres, stool samples and genetic samples the researchers learned so much about the two sisters, including that Beth was born vaginally but Mary was born by C- section because their mom was to fatigued to deliver Mary vaginally. 1) Describe how an one individual can be more susceptible to disease than another? Provide specfic examples from this story with justification from lecture. 2) What do you think could have happened to Mary? Use what little information you have to hypothesize a possible explanation.

Transcribed Image Text:When the body is in a state of "dis-ease" the systems in our body do not function the way that they do when we are in a state of
"ease". In a study of two adult twin sisters age 54, Beth and Mary, scientists were trying to understand why these twins had very
different body weights and why Mary was suffering from a gastrointestinal disease yet her sister was healthy. They studied the
healthy twin (Beth) to see if they could learn anything about her sisters disease from studying her. They were raised in the same
house until they went to different colleges (Beth stayed in London and Mary lived along the coast line in a farm town in France).
They were both mostly healthy throughout their childhood although Mary had a very sensitive stomach and suffered from
allergies. Through the use of questionarres, stool samples and genetic samples the researchers learned so much about the two
sisters, including that Beth was born vaginally but Mary was born by C- section because their mom was to fatigued to deliver
Mary vaginally.
