Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Some individuals or couples have unique identifiable risks that should be discussed prior to conception whenever possible. For example, women who will be 35 years of age or older at delivery (advanced maternal age) are at increased risk for aneuploidy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the ovum and, therefore, from the mother. The pedigree of a family with a mitochondrial DNA disorder is unique in that all offspring (regardless of gender) of an affected female will have the disease, and none of the offspring from an affected male will have the disease.
