What is the difference between communicable and genetic diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inherited-acquired: Communicable diseases are usually infectious in nature and can be transmitted from one individual to another by exposure. In contrast, genetic diseases can be inherited meaning they can be transmitted not by exposure but by passing along of a gene from a parent to a child
