Genetic diseases are conditions caused by mutations or changes in a person's DNA. These mutations can be inherited from one or both parents or can occur randomly. They can affect any part of the body and can range from mild to severe.
Genetic diseases are caused by changes in a person's DNA. These changes can be inherited from parents or can occur randomly due to environmental factors such as exposure to radiation or chemicals. Some genetic diseases are also caused by errors in DNA replication during cell division.
Some genetic diseases can be treated or managed through medication, surgery, or other medical interventions. However, most genetic diseases are not curable, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These microorganisms can spread from person to person through direct contact, contaminated food or water, or insect bites.
The spread of infectious diseases can be prevented by practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and covering coughs and sneezes. Vaccines can also help prevent certain infectious diseases. It is also important to avoid contact with infected individuals and to practice safe sex to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
