Use the Internet to research and write a short report on a disease affecting one of the systems in the human body. Your report s
hould focus on what causes the disease (whether it is a genetic or environmental disease). What symptoms do sufferers have and what treatments are available?
Heart disease has been widely known for being genetic, but whether it is due from the environment or genetic has yet to be established. Some heart disease symptoms are chest pain, palpitations, pressure in the chest, and discomfort in the back and jaw. Although heart disease can be deadly, there is treatments available. Firstly, you could get a heart transplant or you can get a surgery to remove what has caused the disease like lead for example. There is a wide variety of medicines available to help those with the disease as well.
Long term: I could either help a species have more genetic variation or wipe out an entire species. Short term: it could decrease food resources for other species.
