The inheritance of life is filled with joy, yet it also carries risks. It is undeniable that "genes and heredity" play the most crucial role in this process. Another factor that cannot be overlooked, yet is more within the reach of ordinary people, is the "environmental factors" related to the quality of the life being carried. Genes have a subtle and interdependent relationship with humans, and their mysteries have always been a subject of intense curiosity, with the desire to further understand, control, and utilize them to create the well-being of all. Although there is still a long way to go to achieve this noble goal, it has made genetics one of the fastest-growing sciences in the contemporary era.
