In 2015–2016

39.8% of American adults, ages 20 years and over were obese and another 31.8% were overweight.
18.5% of American adolescents, ages 12-19 years were obese

Using proper essay format, research and describe the physiological (biological) effects of obesity on the human body.

Please mention some of the causes of the disorder such as genes, hormones, intestinal bacteria, existing medical conditions and behaviors.

(Please be specific and give the name of genes, bacteria, hormones and other factors involved in obesity.)

Use at least one (reputable) scientific source (list websites).Your references need to be specific.

I need to trace your references back to the original articles you cite in your information paragraph.

For this Assignment, consider that your patient has come to you with concerns of a family history of a genetic disorder. They would like information of the likelihood of conceiving a child with the disorder. The mother’s grandmother had the disease and the father’s brother has the disease. For this Assignment, select one of the following diseases as the focus of your investigation: Huntington’s Disease, Sickle Cell Anemia, or Cystic Fibrosis.

Apply the concepts of epigenetics and testing to help the patient understand the disease.

  • Diagram in a Punnett square the likelihood that the child would have the disease.

  • Describe the conversation you would have with the patient based on the outcome of the Punnett square.
