Sporadic cancer is cancer by chance, there is no relative with the same type of cancer. Familial Cancer, on the other hand, is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Hereditary cancer, moreover, happens when a defective gene is passed from parent to child. Breast and ovarian cancer fall under hereditary cancer though it does not mean that if either of the parents have these types of cancer, the offspring will definitely acquire it. If either of the parents has the defective gene for breast or ovarian cancer, the offspring has higher chances of having the aforementioned cancer.

  1. Pathogenic
  2. Commensals

Pathogenic bacteria will definitely cause disease. Commensals, however, have don't harm us and have the ability to help us.

Eg: Flora (bacteria) in our intestines produce vitamin K and most of the vitamin B complex. They also compete with the pathogenic bacteria that you might've ingested and don't allow them to increase to the number that can cause disease.
