Question 9 • Biology

One way that a genetic counselor is able to help someone who has a genetic disorder and might want to have children in the future is to

Answer
A
advise a family to pursue adoption instead of becoming pregnant.
B
describe how the disorder is inherited and treated.
C
select the best method of fertility treatments for the patient.
D
prescribe the correct medicine for treating the disorder.

Explanation

A genetic counselor can explain how a disorder is inherited, what it may mean for future children, and what treatment or family-planning options are available. This helps the person make informed decisions. Prescribing medicine or choosing fertility treatments is handled by medical professionals, and a counselor would not tell a family they must pursue adoption.
