Determining hereditary diseases in individuals and families.
Explanation: DNA technology (genetic testing, sequencing) is widely used to detect mutations that cause or increase risk for inherited diseases, allowing diagnosis, carrier screening, and family risk assessment. The other choices are incorrect or misleading: producing disease‑resistant humans is not a current medical application; mapping genes is a research tool (not directly the clinical application described); and predicting a baby’s traits before conception is not feasible or ethical in the way the option implies.
