Unit Two

We are introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the head of the Smith family. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are very excited because they just found out they are expecting a new baby. Because the couple is in their early 40s, the doctor has suggested genetic screening and testing. Through this case, you will explore how to screen and evaluate the code in our DNA, the value of good prenatal care, and the future of genetic technology.


2.1 - Genetic Testing
2.2 - Our Genetic Future
