Answer:

hormones; ghrelin; leptin.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

Heredity refers to the transfer of traits (specific physical characteristics) from the parent of a living organism to her offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual production. Some examples of hereditary traits are dimples, tongue rolling, baldness, handedness, freckles, curly hair, color blindness, height, etc.

A gene can be defined as the complete set of hereditary instructions that is typically found in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Over the years, scientists have discovered several genes that are known to contribute to human fatness (body weight), especially genes that are saddled with the responsibility of regulating the production of specific hormones, such as ghrelin, which stimulates hunger, and leptin, which reduces hunger.

Structure of DNA
Evgen [1.6K]
DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.
