What is the difference between a single gene disorder, multifactorial disorder and a chromosomal abnormality?

1 answer:

5 0

There are approximately 25,000 genes contained on the 46 chromosomes in each cell of the human body. This means that one chromosome contains thousands of genes. A person can have normal chromosomes in number and structure, but still have a disease or condition caused by a mutation in one or more of the genes on the chromosomes. A single gene defect usually does not cause the chromosome structure or number to be abnormal. Similarly, a person can have normal genes; however, if the person has extra copies of genes due to a chromosome abnormality, then those extra copies can cause the genes to not work properly.

Marina CMI [18]

The etheric body

The etheric body is the layer of the human energy field that is most closely associated with the body's blueprint of physical health and is found closest to the physical body.

The etheric body is the first layer of the human energy field that is found to be in immediate contact with the physical body. The ether body is the energy system for the physical body as it sustains it, joins it with higher bodies and functions as the matrix for physical metabolic activities.
