Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Curly hair is considered to be a dominant trait, whereas blue eyes are considered to be a recessive trait. Observation of characteristics is noted as phenotype. Genotype identifies the genetic makeup of traits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When obtaining information with regard to genetic counseling, it is important to obtain a family history using a genogram or pedigree as the clinical tool. The use of this diagram provides information for maternal and paternal histories and allows for the interpretation of significance based on findings of age, death, and medical history. A Braden scale is used to assess problems with skin leading to potential breakdown. CVS is a diagnostic procedure used during pregnancy to obtain genetic information about the fetus. Serum protein electrophoresis is a lab test used to determine immunoglobulin levels.
