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.

Insect populations can develop resistance to insecticides over time. The evolution of resistance is associated with an increase in the frequency of adaptive genes in the population.
- In the case above described it is expected that a few mosquitoes in the population were resistant to DDT before it was ever used (Option a is correct).
- Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a pesticide used in agriculture.
- After exposure to DDT, those individuals in the mosquito population that didn't carry gene variants (i.e., alleles) associated with the resistance to this pesticide died.
- Subsequently, insects having adaptive alleles associated with DDT resistance survived and reproduced, thereby increasing the frequency of adaptive genes/alleles in the population.
