Which is an application of DNA technology in medicine?

Answer
A
determining specific traits that a baby will have before its conception
B
mapping human genes for manipulation
C
producing disease resistant humans
D
determining hereditary diseases in individuals and families

Explanation

DNA testing can identify gene variants associated with inherited diseases, helping determine whether individuals or family members may have or carry those conditions. Therefore, determining hereditary diseases in individuals and families is an application of DNA technology in medicine. The other choices describe gene mapping, predicting traits before conception, or engineering disease-resistant humans, rather than a routine medical use.
