Answer: The correct answer is the last option.

Explanation:

Carrier identification test is a screening test that tells if a person is carrier of a particular autosomal recessive disease. It helps in determining the possibility of passing that disease to a child.

Genetic counsellor is professional who is expert in human genetics, research, lab work, counselling, et cetera. After the test, it is best to contact a genetic counsellor as he can explain the family pedigree of the disease. He can best explain the probability of passing a genetic disease to the child.

Give an example of how migration affects population size?
il63 [147K]
Well, depending on how long the migration is, many of the animals (mainly birds) could get sick and die, lowering the population. They could be shot by hunters, lowering the population. The children of the population could get left behind and lose their way, lowering the population. I'm not entirely sure how the population could grow other than them finding and staying with another group of their own kind. hope I was helpful! :)
