According to the article I've read in the website of Harvard Health Publishing (Harvard Medical School), the causes of overweight or obesity have been implicated by more than 400 different genes. Genes provide overweight in so many ways like metabolism, appetite, cravings, distribution of fats, and stress eating. Although it depends on one person to another person. Researchers have said that 25% of predisposition to be overweight is accounted to genes, while 70%-80% for genetic influences. These are just some of the reason how much of your weight depends on your genes:
-For much of your life, you have been overweight
-Overweight is seen on your parents or relatives, your likelihood to be developing obesity is as high as 80% if both of your parents are overweight

Briefly describe how other parts of the universe were formed?​
Mice21 [21]

1. An infinitely dense atom of matter explodes, releasing all matter in the known universe.

2. This matter clumps together forming rocks and dust; that which doesnt compact remains as gas.

3. The rocks and dust are pulled in to each other by their own gravity. These clumps get bigger and bigger, and form planets.

4. Gas and dust clouds, better known as nebulae, (sing. nebula) begin to react, clump together and generate heat. Stars are formed out of these nebulae (unsure of the process).

5. The stars, with their powerful gravitational pulls, drag in planets to form solar systems. This happens on a larger scale as well, as groups of millions of stars are formed into galaxies, huge swirling discs containing millions of stars each.

That's where we are today.
