A Scientist Discovers a DNA-Based Test for One Allele of a Particular

A scientist discovers a DNA-based test for one allele of a particular gene.This and only this allele,if homozygous,produces an effect that results in death at or about the time of birth.Which of the following statements describes the best use of this discovery?

A) Screen all newborns of an at-risk population.
B) Design a test for identifying heterozygous carriers of the allele.
C) Introduce a normal allele into deficient newborns.
D) Follow the segregation of the allele during meiosis.
