Embryo screening

In Inherited disorders, Embryo screening means the specific Unit 4.6 idea used to answer this objective: students must consider that embryo screening and gene therapy may alleviate suffering but raise ethical issues. Keep the term curriculum-specific by applying this boundary: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. Do not use Embryo screening as a vague inheritance word; link it to Reproduction and explain the exact role it plays in AQA GCSE Biology.
