Question

all of the following are ways in which dna technology plays a role in medicine except
identifying mutations.
producing insulin and growth hormone.
tracking how a condition is passed between generations.
examining paternity.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Identifying mutations: DNA tech helps detect genetic mutations relevant to medicine.
• Producing insulin/growth hormone: Recombinant DNA tech is used to produce these for medical treatment.
• Tracking condition inheritance: DNA analysis helps trace genetic disorders across generations, relevant to medicine.
• Examining paternity: Paternity testing is a forensic/legal use of DNA tech, not a direct role in medicine (treating/preventing diseases, diagnosing genetic conditions, etc.).

Answer:

D. examining paternity
