31.In a duplication, a person has more than two alleles for a certain trait.
32.In an auto so mal dominant genetic disorder, if both parents have the disorder, what is the chance that their sons will have the disorder?
33.A male has a particular X-linked recessive genetic disorder. His partner is normal, but her father had the disorder. What is the chance that their sons will have the disorder?

35.True or false: An abnormality in DNA sequence used in a test to determine an abnormal allele is called a genetic marker.
36.True or false: A genetic profile can detect mutations in a person's genes.
37.The insertion of genetic material into human cells for treatment of a disorder is called what?
39.What is the difference between ex vivo gene therapy and in vivo gene therapy?
40.True or false: Ultrasound images determine the karyotype of the fetus.
