The requirement to use genetic testing to check the disease in an embryo before the technique of the in-vitro fertilization, analysis of the embryo for testing to check for traits unrelated to the diseases. The analysis of the feasibility of performing the genetic tests and to draw a line of conclusion for the genetic tests which are acceptable and which are not. Introduction: The genetic testing by the procedure of amniocentesis is done to analyze the diseases in the embryo. In this technique, a small amount of amniotic fluid is extracted from the embryo sac layer inside the uterus of the mother and diagnosed for the pre-natal diseases. The technique of in-vitro fertilization is used for fertilizing the egg with a sperm in a test-tube and implanting the egg in the uterus of the mother at the eight-celled stage.

Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI). Field Notes: Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis: Body: Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves: Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History: Diploid sporophyte dominant generation. Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte. Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced. Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte. Explain which domain, kingdom and phylum you believe this plant should be classified…
