undercooked cassava which contains cyan glycosides.
b. A young man learns that he is infertile because his sperm are non-motile.
A maize plant is unable to survive due to recessive lethal gene causing albinism.
d. An infant is placed on a low phenylalanine diet as his newborn screening results revealed that
he inherited phenylketonuria.
e. A man develops pleiomorphic liposarcoma (a rare type of cancer) and is told that the cause of
the problem is a hard mass of cells in his right inner thigh that rapidly increased in size in a
