Question
Type 2 Diabetes is a disorder characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels. In this form of diabetes, the body stops using and making insulin. Scientists have identified both genetic and environmental causes of Type 2 Diabetes. This type of diabetes is not necessarily inherited but rather caused by gene expression. Under what conditions does diabetes occur?
Select one:
Oa. When the gene for making insulin is turned on
Ob. When genes are inherited from one or both of your parents

The correct option is:
Oc. Type 2 Diabetes is caused when genes are turned off.
Type 2 Diabetes occurs when the body's ability to use insulin is impaired, often due to gene expression factors (genes being turned off or not functioning properly) and lifestyle or environmental influences, rather than directly inheriting the condition from parents.
