Answer:

D

Explanation:

There is approximately 64 base combination of codons (3 bases sequences) that are possible from the four bases nucleotides that make up our DNA. Yet there are only approximately 20 types of amino acids in our bodies. This means that other than the 4 start and stop codons, there is a lot of redundancy in the coding of amino acids by codons. Therefore some mutations on codons will have no effect on the type of amino acid translated. These are the silent mutations.

A genetic counselor is a health-care worker who has received specialized training. They are experts in medical genetics as well as counseling.

  • For people who are affected by hereditary diseases, genetic testing brings a slew of questions and concerns.
  • Therefore, genetic counselors assist in identifying families/members of families that may be at risk of developing a genetic condition.
  • They may also assist in collecting and analyzing family history and inheritance patterns, calculating recurrence risks.
  • After getting all the relevant information, they can then provide information about genetic testing and related treatments.
