<span>A family medical history can identify people with a higher-than-usual chance of having common disorders, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, certain cancers, and diabetes. </span>

Ans.

A family medical history shows record and data of health information about an individual and her/his close relatives. A complete family medical history record comprises information from three generations of family members, including grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts, children, nephews and nieces, siblings, and cousins.

By studying it, one can know the chances for developing same genetic diseases present in his family or he can reduce the risk of developing those health problems by taking precautions.

Thus, 'by knowing family medical history, Mike and Veronica can know if there is any case of genetic disorder in their family, and chances to inherit those disorders(if present in family) by their baby or their doctors can reduce the chance of developing those diseases in their baby by medications or other means.'

Explain how the use of cell technology makes disease eradication possible.
Kaylis [27]

The post-eradication era is a period of history for which there has been no precedent whatsoever in terms of a zero base of immunity. Cessation of immunization will eventually create a population susceptible to widespread infection in the event of accidental or intentional reintroduction or re-emergence of the eradicated virus. Thus, even after immunization ceases, vaccine production must continue.

However, many currently available vaccines may not be appropriate for continued post-eradication vaccine production or reinstatement. Vaccines must be continually improved and ongoing vaccination research maintained. Other potentially useful antiviral strategies—antivirals, prophylaxis, and probiotics—must also be considered as means to strengthen the immune system and serve as adjuvant or prophylactic therapies.

In the case of polio, for example, it remains to be determined which vaccine (oral polio vaccine [OPV] or inactivated polio vaccine [IPV]), or variant thereof, should be produced in the post-eradication, post-vaccination era. A detailed plan for vaccine production will require more information on OPV-derived viral persistence and transmission, as well as continuing dialogue between public health and research communities in order to ensure that appropriate vaccination research continues.

Why does your body need to break down starch into glucose ?
valina [46]

Starch can't be used by the organism the way it is, because cells aren't able to do anything with it.

If you break it into glucose though, it becomes usable.


Hope it helped,
