Question

if only one parent is a carrier for an autosomal recessive disorder, and the other parent is homozygous and does not have the disorder, there is no chance that the offspring would inherit the disorder. true false

For an autosomal - recessive disorder, an individual must inherit two copies of the recessive allele to have the disorder. If one parent is a carrier (heterozygous) and the other is homozygous non - carrier, the offspring can only inherit at most one copy of the recessive allele, so they cannot have the disorder.
