Discrimination against children and youth is caused by the bias adults have for other adults that causes them to discriminate against young people. Bias for adults is called adultism. When something is based on adultism, it is called adultcentrism.While adultism is sometimes appropriate, adultcentrism is often inappropriate.
Genetic makeup refers to the genes that determine what you look like and what physical characteristics you have. They are your GENOTYPE, and when these genes are expressed (the color of your eyes, your blood type, your hair texture, the structure of your digestive enzymes, etc), you are showing your PHENOTYPE.
While genetic testing can give you and your partner visibility into your health history and your chances for a healthy pregnancy and baby, it's not totally foolproof. Some genetic tests, like cystic fibrosis, can only identify some of the mutations in the genes that cause the condition, says Trepanier.
