Verified step by step guidance

Understand that genetics research involves studying genes and their functions, which can reveal sensitive information about individuals and populations.

Recognize that while genetics research has the potential to improve human health, it also carries risks such as misuse of genetic data, which can affect privacy and confidentiality.

Consider the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics research, including discrimination, stigmatization, and consent issues.

Evaluate the given options by comparing them to the known risks and benefits of genetics research, noting that some options are unrealistic or overly optimistic.

Conclude that the best description of the risks is the potential misuse of genetic information and unintended ethical, legal, or social consequences, as it accurately reflects real concerns in genetics research.
