Detailed explanation-1: -Most instances of misuse arise from violations of the confidentiality and privacy of genetic information. Physicians should not share patients’ genetic information with third parties or release it to agencies without the patient’s consent, unless required by law.

Detailed explanation-2: -D. The human genome contains nucleotide sequences that all code for proteins. Human genome encompasses all set of nucleic acid sequences of humans that are encoded as DNA. Statement D is false since not all nucleotide sequences code for protein as some long stretches of DNA can have no known function.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Repeated (or repetitive) sequences are not present in human genome’.

Detailed explanation-4: -ETHICAL ISSUES IN GENOMIC RESEARCH The individual and the family could be subjected to unnecessary psychosocial harm because not all subjects with genetic susceptibility can be expected to develop the disease in future.
