Question
Chapter 24, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The least and the most convincing of the experimental observations discussed in Section 25.1 that suggest that the disease is inherited.
Introduction:
The human genetic study is important to discern the genetic basis of the disease, the inherited trait, and its inheritance pattern. In humans, some traits are inherited and others are caused by various environmental factors. Both of them contribute to the genetic diversity of an individual or population.
