A. genetics
B. genetic engineering
C. stem cells
D. heredity
E. genetic discrimination
D. heredity
Heredity is the process by which organisms pass genetic traits on to their offspring and is part of the wider scope of the term genetics. Genetics is the science that accounts for natural differences and resemblances among organisms related by descent. Genetic engineering has allowed scientists to manipulate DNA within the cells of plants, animals, and other organisms to ensure that certain advantageous traits will appear and be passed on, or that certain harmful traits are eliminated. Stem cells are early embryonic cells that have the potential to become any type of body cell. Genetic discrimination is differential treatment based on actual or presumed genetic differences.
