Question

question 16/24
16 two parents have the genotype gg for a genetic disorder caused by a recessive allele. what is the chance that any of their children will inherit the disorder?
a 75%
b 25%
c 50%
d 100%

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Parental Genotypes

Both parents have genotype \( gg \), so each can only pass on the \( g \) allele.

Step2: Determine Offspring Genotype

When both parents contribute \( g \), all offspring will have genotype \( gg \). Since the disorder is recessive and \( gg \) expresses it, the chance of inheriting the disorder is 100%.

Answer:

D. 100%
