Short explanation
Some cancers are also linked to genetic risk factors. Cancer sits within Animal tissues, organs and organ systems, so this idea should be explained in that specific biological context rather than as an isolated phrase. A useful term here is cancer, because cancer is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain that some cancers are also linked to genetic risk factors. Avoid giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that some cancers are also linked to genetic risk factors; instead answer by clearly explaining how to explain that some cancers are also linked to genetic risk factors. Use precise biological vocabulary when you explain how to explain that some cancers are also linked to genetic risk factors. This keeps your answer tightly aligned to the approved learning objective for Cancer.
