(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether an individual would wish to use the technology such as gene probes, profiling, and mapping to find out whether he and his children are at risk for genetic disease.

Concept introduction:

Genetic disorder occurs when a disease is caused by any abnormalities present in the genome of a human. Genetic disorders are rare and affect one person in every thousand. Genetic disorder can be hereditary as it could be passed from one generation to other through the parent’s gene if the defect has occurred in the germ line. Some genetic disorders are caused by new changes or mutations in the DNA.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The risk and benefits if the techniques like mapping, DNA probing and DNA profiling were used to gather information on employees. How an individual would feel if he is such an employee.

Concept introduction:

DNA profiling is a technique which is used to detect any genetic differences in the genome of individuals. It is done to solve any parental disputes and in criminal investigations. DNA probes are the labeled single strands of DNA, which are used in detections of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, genetic testing, and various genetic disorders.
