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.
One way genetic factors determine a person's level of health is by being responsible for the disease state. Such diseases can be inherited. Whether they are or not depends whi â¦ ch of each of the pairs of parents' chromosomes are passed onto offspring. If genes are inherited that directly cause disease, the individuals level of health is lower than that of healthy individuals (who do not possess the offending gene).
