1 Only a few human diseases are triggered by a single gene working by itself. 2  In most cases, a disease results from the actions of many genes. 3  An example of a single-gene disorder is Huntington's disease, which was discussed in the last chapter. 4  One error in one gene leads to the fatal health problems of HD.

Oat bran and rolled oats both offer multiple nutrients. A whole grain contains three segments of a seed -- the endosperm, germ and bran. As the name indicates, oat bran only contains the bran of the seed, which means it is not a complete whole grain. Rolled oats derive from whole oat groats, which are whole grains -- produced when rollers mash down the groats and create flat flakes. Rolled oats are also known as oatmeal.
