There are a variety of genetic tests possible. Match the particular test with the most appropriate term. (Note that there are more terms on the right, so not all are going to be matched) Newborn Screening program Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) [ Choose ] use fluorescent probes to hybridize to a microarray to determine duplications or deletions uses DNA hybridization of probes to whole chromosomes with microscopy imaging uses the blood from the mother performed only by Direct-to-Consumer companies (like 23andMe) uses the DNA from a cell that is within the embryo uses biomarkers found in the blood of a baby
