Answer:
Amniocentesis
A test whereby the physician withdraws a sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus of a pregnant woman. The fluid is then tested for genetic or other conditions that may lead to abnormal development of the fetus
Artificial insemination
The mechanical injection of viable semen into the vagina
Chromosome
A microscopic structure found within the nucleus of a plant or animal cell that carries genes responsible for the organisms characteristics
Clone
An organism begun asexually, usually from a single cell of the parent
Cloning
The process by which organisms are created asexually, usually from a single cell of the parent organism
DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid)
The combination of proteins called nucleotides, that is arranged to make up an organisms chromosomes
Emancipated minor
Individuals in their mid to late teens who legally live outside the parents or guardians control
Gene
A tiny segment of DNA found on a chromosome in a cell. Each gene holds the protein of a specific enzyme or protein
Gene therapy
The insertion of a normally functioning gene into cells which an abnormal or absent element of the gene has caused disease
Genetic counselor
An expert in human genetics who is qualified to counsel individuals who may have inherited genes for certain diseases or conditions
Genetic discrimination
Differential treatment of individuals based on their actual or presumed genetic differences
Genetic engineeering
Manipulation of DNA within the cells of plants and animals, through synthesis, alteration or repair to ensure that certain harmful traits will be eliminated in offspring and that desirable traits will appear and be passed on.
Genetics
The science that accounts for natural differences and resemblances among organisms related by descent
Genome
All the DNA in an organism including its genes

Mutation
A permanent change in DNA
Parens Patriae
A legal doctrine that gives the state the authority to act in a child's best interest
Pluripotent stem cells
Stem cells that can become almost all types of tissues and cells in the body, cells come from an embryo
Surrogate mother
A woman who becomes pregnant, usually by artificial insemination or surgical implantation of a fertilized egg and bears a child for another woman
Xenotransplantation
The process of grafting or transplanting organs or tissues between members of different species
