Answer to Question 1

D, E
Intellectual humility is the awareness of the limits of one's knowledge and sensitivity to the possibility of self-deception. Intellectual integrity is the application of rigorous and consistent standards of evidence and the admission of errors when they occur. Confidence in reason is the confidence in one's ability to think fairly. Fair-mindedness is a consciousness of the need to treat all viewpoints alike, without reference to one's own feelings or vested interests. Intellectual courage is a willingness to listen and examine all ideas, including those that trigger a negative reaction.

Answer to Question 2

A
Carrier testing is done to determine whether individuals carry the genes for particular diseases. These genes can be passed to one's offspring, leading to clinical disorders. Couples from specific racial and ethnic groups are often advised to have carrier testing before conceiving.
Diagnostic testing identifies a specific gene that may be causing a health condition now or could cause one in the future.
Genetic counseling may be needed pending the results of the carrier testing.
Genetic variability is not one of the main types of genetic testing offered.
