Fetal health screenings have been developed to test for a variety of genetic, environmental, and pathogenic diseases. Which ofthe following would be a logical argument for conducting a genetic screening rather than a pathogenic screening to identify adisease or condition?A genetically carried disease or condition, which can be treated by altering environmental factors, would have nobearing on pathogen transmission,A genetically carried disease or condition, which is contagious, should be identified early to increase the odds ofcontainment; whereas a pathogenically transmitted condition will confine itself to one population. A genetically carried disease or condition, which can be treated with a vaccination, should be identified early toincrease the odds of an infant's survival; whereas a mother's immunity would protect an infant from pathogens. A genetically carried disease or condition, which can be treated with gene therapy, should be identified early toincrease the odds of an infant's survival, whereas a mother's immunity would protect an infant from pathogens.
