What is the difference between the following diseases: Genetic, Infectious and life-syle.?


Give two examples for each...

thankyou very much for helping...

Genetic is something you inherited from your parents.ex.diabetes, high blood pressure, sickle cell anemia.
Infectious is something you caught from contact with an outside source, like food or water. ex. cold, flu, malaria.
Life style is something you acquired from your habits, such as, heart disease from eating unhealthy foods and not exercising. ex. diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure.

Some things you may have a potential to acquire because of your parents so it is easier to get, and somethings you can get because you your life style in spite of your parents and you can also keep from coming down with the things you parents had if you practice healthy living.

genetic is when its passed dwn through your family.. lik eyour great great grandma could have downsysdrome and then possibly your child or you or your mum or dad has it.....diabetes is also another on

lifestyle is obviously lifestyle related.. such as diabetes pretty much anyone can get that from being overweight, eatinga lot of bad foods etc etc... ummm i cant think of another on

infectious would be like a bacteria growing on you and you can pass it n to other people.. like chicken pox i guess


i hope this helps. proley nto but meh

goodluck
