A man and woman have decided to have children but are worried about possible genetic diseases. The couple visits geneticist to determine what the possible risks are for their future children. The couple discovers that the mom is a carrier, or heterozygous with the diabetes allele and the dad is homozygous dominant, so neither of them have the disease but the mom has one recessive allele. In order to have Diabetes, you have to have two recessive alleles. Th following year, the parents are blessed with a bouncing baby boy! What is the correct genotype of the mom? Aa B AA aa

E· Question 5/18 > NEXT A BOOKMARK 5 According to Scenario 1, Choose the following explanation for why the child wouldn't be able to inherit Diabetes. The dominant allele causes Diabetes. B The dominant alleles over-power the possible recessive allele from mom. c) The recessive allele given by mom is strong enough to over-power the dominant alleles from dad. DA mutation prevented him from getting the disease. © O O O
