- An increased chance of developing a particular disease based on a person's genetic makeup
- Often inherited from a parent and can affect the PIES development of that individual throughout their life
- Does not mean that the individual will develop that condition
- Genetic condition cannot be altered
- Changing environmental factors, support, and treatment can help an individual live as healthy as possible

- Genes
- Made out of a substance called DNA
- DNA has the biological instructions to create another life
- Dominant genes only need to be passed by one parent in order for the condition to develop
- Recessive genes need to be passed by both parents
- Made out of a substance called DNA
- Genetic factors that affect development
- Predisposition diseases
- Inherited genes that determine physical growth, development, health, and appearance
- Susceptible diseases
- An increased likelihood of acquiring a disease because of an individual's genetic makeup
- Biological factors
- The environment inside a mother's womb can have a dramatic influence on a child's development
- Can affect a child's long term development including their attention span and learning abilities
- The environment inside a mother's womb can have a dramatic influence on a child's development
