If someone is predisposed to a disease, they are more likely to contract the disease due to B. heredity. Heredity refers to passing down genes, so if your parents had a disease, you may get it yourself because they may pass the disease down to you. Although this may not happen, the chances are that it will. It is not random, lifestyle choices don't really matter, nor do other factors, it is just about the heredity.

Through heredity one is more likely to contract the disease.

Further Explanation:

Heredity is also known as an inheritance which refers to the passing of the traits from the parents to their offspring, either via sexual or asexual reproduction. The offspring cells get the genetic information of their parents. Through this, differences between the people can accumulate and may cause species to evolve through natural selection. This study is known as genetics.

A single gene is known to be the basic physical as well as a functional unit of heredity. Genes are composed up of DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid. Certain genes work as instructions to make molecules that are known as proteins. Nucleic acids are mainly the macromolecules which capture the genetic information and enables the production of protein. These involve DNA and RNA. Such molecules are made up of long strands of nucleotides and they are made up of five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Therefore, through heredity one is more likely to get the disease as it moves from the parental generation to another.
