Answer to Question 1

C
The goals of the Human Genome Project were to determine the sequences of the base pairs in human DNA; improve tools for data analysis; transfer related technologies to the private sector; and address the ethical, legal, and social issues that may arise.

Answer to Question 2

A
The cost of caring for a child with a disability often affects the family's financial well-being. One-third of children with disabilities who have insurance lack adequate coverage to meet their needs. Alteration of self-concept and self-esteem may affect individuals in the family, but not the family. Compliance with legislation and provision of health care services may be potential effects on the community.
