Although there are many possible causes of human disease, family history is often one of the strongest risk factors for common disease complexes such as cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and psychiatric illnesses. A person inherits a complete set of genes from each parent, as well as a vast array of cultural and socioeconomic experiences from his/her family. Family history is thought to be a good predictor of an individual’s disease risk because family members most closely represent the unique genomic and environmental interactions that an individual experiences (Kardia et al., 2003<span>). Inherited genetic variation within families clearly contributes both directly and indirectly to the pathogenesis of disease. </span>
Answer:
<em>B. Allows blood to flow between the two ventricles </em>
<em>C. Allows blood to flow from the atria to the ventricle</em>
<em>D. Prevents blood from flowing into the atria when the ventricle pumps </em>
Explanation:
I reviewed this question using the "Roles of Your Four Heart Valves" and believe that out of the four, those two would be your best decision. Now, it says that it prevents blood from flowing BACK into the atria when blood pumps out of the ventricle, so for the second answer I had chosen it may be right or wrong since the answer didn't specify, but it should come up as correct.
answers that are <u>not correct: </u>
<em>A. Allows blood to flow between the two atria</em>
- I say this is wrong because the atria are connected and pump blood to the ventricles, and should pump between themselves. Now, whether that is what the answer is meaning or not, I would play it safe and not pick this one.

Answer:
D. They represent her heritage and cultural identity.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled "Everyday Use," written by <em>Alice Walker.</em> The story centers on the life of an<em> African-American</em> mother (Mama) and her two daughters, Dee and Maggie. Unlike Maggie, Dee was thirsty for knowledge and was brimming with confidence. This is the reason why she became an advocate of "Black Nationalism." This was a political thought that promoted the identity of the black people and resisted the assimilation of black communities into the white culture.
When Dee returns home, she begins noticing the different items that surrounded the house. By this time, she has already changed her name into "Wangero." She wanted to take some of the items in the house so she can include them in her heritage collection. <u>For Dee, these items represented her heritage and cultural identity</u><u>.</u> For example, Dee took the <em>"quilt"</em> out and thought about its<em> artistic touches for decoration.</em> She demanded to take it away, but Mama suddenly realized that, after all, <em>Dee didn't really truly appreciate the African-American culture and tradition.</em>
So, this explains the answer.
