Question

Genes are a likely contributor to obesity if

A. you became obese between ages 35 and 50.
B. you’ve lost weight before but gained it back due to lack of physical activity.
C. you have a third cousin who is overweight.
D. both of your parents are obese.

Answer 1

d. if both your parents are obese then you will get their genes :)

Answer 2

D) both of your parents are obese.

Step-by-step explanation:

The genes influences morphologically, physically and even mentally the constitution of the human beings, in this scenario, if the hypothetical person has obese parents, naturally will have higher chances to have the same condition compared to a person who has skinny, or normal constitution parents.

The physical constitution and metabolisms are inherited aspects, the genes carry all the genetic information, and are transmitted from the parents to their offspring, this way having an obesity predisposition from both ¨sides¨ will inevitably lead to the same outcome for the mentioned individual.
