Answer to Question 1

B
Genetic testing for specific conditions such as Down syndrome was developed because of research findings from the period between the 1950s and 1980s. Newborn screening for some genetic conditions was developed during that time frame as well.
The creation of medications tailored to a specific patient's genomic profile is a very recent development.
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was passed in 2008.
The human genome was completely mapped and sequenced in 2003.

Answer to Question 2

D
After both Houses pass their version of a bill, a conference committee works on the bill to resolve any differences between the two versions that passed.
After a bill passes in both Houses, it does not go to the party chairs. The party chairs run the political party; the committee chairs set the legislative agenda.
Bills may be passed fully, partially, or not funded at all.
Bills that have passed do not need to be registered anywhere as pending laws.
