Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Assessing for dysmorphic features may enable identification of certain syndromes or genetic or chromosomal disorders (Jorde, Carey, & Bamshad 2010; Prichard & Korf 2008). Dysmorphology is defined as the study of abnormal physical development (Jorde, Carey, & Bamshad 2010, 302).
