1.2: matching activity
match the term with the correct definition.
□ behavioral factors a. aspects of people’s lives that increase the chances they will develop a disease or disorder or experience an injury or decline in health.
□ deoxyribonucleic acid (dna)
□ genes b. choices and behaviors that affect a person’s chance of developing a disease, unhealthy condition, or injury.
□ genetic disorders c. health conditions that develop due to a person’s genes; do not require the presence of other risk factors.
□ protective factors d. aspects of people’s lives that reduce risk and increase the likelihood of optimal health.
□ risk factors e. chemical that carries genetic information, which determines many traits; found in chromosomes.
f. deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) segments that contain the blueprint for the structure and function of a person’s cells; affect development, personality, and health.

Explanation:

• behavioral factors: Option B defines choices and behaviors affecting health chances, matching "behavioral factors".
• deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA): Option E describes the chemical carrying genetic info, which is DNA.
• genes: Option F explains DNA segments with cell blueprint, which are genes.
• genetic disorders: Option C states health conditions from genes, no other risks, matching genetic disorders.
• protective factors: Option D mentions aspects reducing risk for optimal health, which are protective factors.
• risk factors: Option A defines aspects increasing disease/injury chances, matching risk factors.

Answer:

• behavioral factors: B. Choices and behaviors that affect a person’s chance of developing a disease, unhealthy condition, or injury.
• deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA): E. Chemical that carries genetic information, which determines many traits; found in chromosomes.
• genes: F. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) segments that contain the blueprint for the structure and function of a person’s cells; affect development, personality, and health.
• genetic disorders: C. Health conditions that develop due to a person’s genes; do not require the presence of other risk factors.
• protective factors: D. Aspects of people’s lives that reduce risk and increase the likelihood of optimal health.
