Question 6 • Biology

In which of these areas of biology should a genetic counselor be an expert?

Answer
A
the Calvin cycle
B
Mendelian genetics
C
genetic engineering
D
the immune system

Explanation

Genetic counselors help people understand how inherited traits and genetic conditions may be passed through families. Mendelian genetics explains inheritance patterns, such as dominant and recessive traits, so it is especially relevant to their work. The Calvin cycle concerns photosynthesis, and the immune system and genetic engineering are not the central area asked about.
