genetic - (pronounced) (jeh-NEH-tik) Has to do with genes. Most genes are sequences of DNA that contain information for making specific RNA molecules or proteins that perform important functions in a cell. The information in the genes is passed from parents to children. Sometimes certain gene changes can affect a person's risk of diseases like cancer. These changes can be inherited, or they can occur with age or exposure to environmental factors such as diet, exercise, medications, and chemicals
