Determine if the child is homozygous or heterozygous for this genotyped sequence at each SNP?  SNP 1 [genotype1] SNP 2 [genotype2] SNP 3 [genotype3]

A woman in her mid-30’s is hoping to get pregnant with her first child. Her father died of Huntington’s disease, which is an autosomal dominant disorder, which means you only need one mutant copy of the gene to get the disease. She was recently tested and also has the Huntington’s disease allele, which means she will eventually develop Huntington’s disease. Her and her partner want to ensure that their children do not get Huntington’s disease so are willing to undergo in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and genetic testing of the resulting fertilized embryos to select for embryos that do not have the Huntington’s disease allele. What type of genetic testing is this?

The recent cloning of the rhesus monkey used a new technique called SCNT-TR (trophoblast replacement), which increased the success rate of cloning from less than 3% to over 50% success.
