b. genetic engineering
c. gene editing
d. gene expression

what does the principle of beneficence in genetic research aim to achieve?
a. to avoid harm to individuals
b. to ensure fair distribution of genetic benefits
c. to maximize benefits and minimize harm
d. to respect individual privacy

what is genetic engineering primarily concerned with?
a. the privacy concerns in genetic research
b. the ethical implications of genetic testing
c. the historical context of genetic advancements
d. altering the dna of an organism to modify inherited traits

Explanation:

First Question:

• Option a: Inheritance is the passing of traits, not altering DNA.
• Option b: Genetic Engineering involves altering an organism's DNA to modify inherited traits.
• Option c: Gene editing is a part of genetic engineering, but the term for the overall process here is Genetic Engineering.
• Option d: Gene expression is about how genes are used, not altering DNA.

• Option a: Avoiding harm is non - maleficence, not beneficence.
• Option b: Fair distribution is justice, not beneficence.
• Option c: The principle of beneficence aims to maximize benefits and minimize harm.
• Option d: Respecting privacy is related to confidentiality, not beneficence.

• Option a: Privacy concerns are ethical issues, not the primary concern of genetic engineering.
• Option b: Ethical implications of testing are not what genetic engineering is about.
• Option c: Historical context is not the primary concern.
• Option d: Genetic engineering is primarily about altering an organism's DNA to modify inherited traits.

Answer:

b. Genetic Engineering
