Predisposition - A genetic predisposition is a genetic effect which influences the phenotype of an organism but which can be modified by the environmental conditions. Genetic testing is able to identify individuals who are genetically predisposed to certain health problems.

Smart gene - A smart gene is an artificially constructed genetic molecule (known as a construct) composed of one or more genes encoding a protein to be expressed and a region (such as a promoter) that will only allow the protein to be expressed under specific conditions (such as the presence of a particular molecule). Therefore a smart gene allows conditional expression of the gene it encodes for based on whether specific conditions inside the cell are met.

Evolutionary capacitance - Evolutionary capacitance is a cutting-edge biological theory stating that living systems have the ability to accumulate genetic variation that has no phenotypic effect until the system is disturbed (perhaps by stress), at which point the variation has a phenotypic effect and is subject to natural selection. This mechanism would allow for rapid phenotypic change in a population, and rapid adaptation to new environmental conditions.

Prenatal diagnosis - Prenatal diagnosis is the diagnosis of disease or condition in a fetus or embryo before it is born. The aim is to detect birth defects such as neural tube defects, chromosome abnormalities, genetic diseases and other conditions.
