A. 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 trails are eliminated. Stem cells are early embryonic cells that have the potential to become any type of body cell. A genome is all the DNA in an organism, including its genes. Genetic discrimination is differential treatment based on actual or presumed genetic differences.
