- - - - After we learned genetics,I can conclude that hypertension is link with genes that runs with in my family.I always told from my relatives that its hereditary but i really do not understand the concept after we learned that some disease can be pass from generation to generation. Now, i have a clear understanding that hypertension is heritable disease and I am at risk on having it.Understanding these genetic factors behind hypertension lead me to better prevention, diagnosis and management of the disease.
        
        Challenge
        
        One of the main challenging for me in learning about hereditary diseases arises from the complexity of the condition.Hereditary can be caused by mutations in numerous genes and understanding the interaction between genes is challenging. Furthermore, some hereditary conditions may have more than one mode of inheritance make it more complicated.For example, deficiency can be inherited in autosomal dominant, recessive or sex-linked
        
        Application
        
        With the help of genetics, we can know and learn the presence of these disease before they manifest with different technique such as genetic testing or karyotyping.The method can detect if someone is carrying a mutated gene that could potentially cause by a hereditary disease like hypertension.This process is highly accurate and can help individuals make informed choices about their health, including wether they should have a baby.This is particularly important for individuals who have a family history of a certain condition
- - - - Adaptation
        
        Self-reflection about adaptation help me understand the role of adaptation in shaping my life and those of other living organism.By being aware of my surroundings, i can learn to adapt and thrive in any environment.My personal development depends on my ability to adapt and change.After learning the theory of evolution, I can relate myself as an immigrant here in Canada to adaptation. When i compare myself 9 years ago from now , I noticed a changed in some ways like problem solving.It happened naturally as i tried to adapt myself here in Canada.I did not changes genetically but some behaviours were develop and it help me more to understand adaptation.This explains that changes occur overtime as try to survive in a new environment.
      - Challenge
        
        The concept of evolution is confusing for me. The vast amount of evidence and complexity that support challenged me to understand how to put all the pieces fit together.For example, gene flow, how did Lucy's genes pass to me.Looking at Lucy's behaviour, physical appearance, and anatomical features for instance,Is she really my ancestor?
      - Application
        
        Despite of my challenges to understand the concept,I found one of the recent study on adaptation focused on the ability of plant population to respond to changes in their environment.Specifically, the researchers looked at wether plant populations could adapt to increased temperatures and increased rainfall.The study show found that some plants were able to adapt to these condition and others did not.This explains the concept of adaptation By continuing to explore and understand these concepts, i can gain deeper insights into forces that have shaped my world as i know it.
