Genetic testing is an important and sophisticated technical for direct examination of the DNA molecule. It is most known for its ability to determine a child's paternity, if there is a question of doubt on who the father is. It is also helpful in detecting inherited diseases, and helps expectant parents determine if they are at risk of having a child with a genetic condition. Genetic testing is also helpful in identifying individuals for legal purposes, most commonly, ruling out a suspect or identifying a victim.
What else can I help you with?
For which genes is the individual heterozygous?
To determine which genes an individual is heterozygous for, you would need to analyze their genetic information, specifically looking at the alleles at various loci. An individual is heterozygous at a gene if they have two different alleles, one inherited from each parent, such as A/a or B/b. This information can be obtained through genetic testing or sequencing. If you have specific genetic data, I can help interpret whether an individual is heterozygous for particular genes.
What kind of information can be obtained through genetic counseling?
it's a specialist that help families to understand inherited diseases, and know the probability of having a child with a disease that runs in their family.
Can Marfan Syndrome be detected before birth?
Yes, Marfan Syndrome can be detected before birth through prenatal genetic testing such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. These tests can detect whether the fetus has inherited the genetic mutation that causes Marfan Syndrome. It's important to consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare provider for further information and testing options.
What is genetically screening?
Genetic screening is a through testing process that analyses a person DNA. Genetic screening is usually a medical procedure that tries to establish any disorders in the DNA system.
What way does genetic information flow?
Genetic information flows from DNA to RNA through a process called transcription, and then from RNA to protein through a process called translation. This flow of genetic information is known as the central dogma of molecular biology.

Can I get my dog registered by ADBA through genetic testing?
Not for the moment.
How are genetic disorders reconized?
through DNA testing and physical and/or behavioral analysis
How are fetal cells obtained?
Fetal cells can be obtained through procedures like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling during pregnancy. These tests involve collecting a sample of amniotic fluid or placental tissue, which contains fetal cells that can be used for genetic testing or other analyses.
What kind of information can be obtained through genetic counseling?
it's a specialist that help families to understand inherited diseases, and know the probability of having a child with a disease that runs in their family.
Why do you use animals in human medicine?
For testing or for the production of medicine (often through genetic modification)

Where can you get mitocondrial DNA tested?
You can get mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing done through commercial genetic testing companies like 23andMe, FamilyTreeDNA, or AncestryDNA. These companies offer genetic testing kits that include mtDNA analysis alongside other types of genetic testing.
What age can you tell if the embryo is a male or female?
Typically, the sex of an embryo can be determined through ultrasound around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. Genetic testing through techniques like preimplantation genetic testing can also be done at earlier stages to determine the sex of the embryo.
What way does genetic information flow?
Genetic information flows from DNA to RNA through a process called transcription, and then from RNA to protein through a process called translation. This flow of genetic information is known as the central dogma of molecular biology.
How is genetic information passed from one generation to the next?
So when there id fertilisation the genetic information is passed on through the parents to the offspring because the two cells fuse so does the nuclei with the two halves of genetic information.
