Mutated gene

A mistake by cellular machinery, or damage from an environmental agent such as radiation may produce a mutated gene which is a permanently altered segment of dna.  

A gene mutation is a perpetual change in the DNA sequence that forms a gene which makes the sequence different from what is present in most people. Gene mutations can be classified into; hereditary mutation (changes inherited from parents) and somatic mutation (changes caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun).

This particular individual has inherited a recessive allele for a genetic trait or mutation but does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease. They are referred to as genetic carriers. The chance of two carriers having an offspring with the disease or genetic disorder is 25%

did Anna appear to be following a diet appropriate for a person with type 1 diabetes and why or why not
Sphinxa [80]
While you didn't provide us with a list of foods that Anna is eating or has eaten in the past, her diet would be appropriate for her if she was abstaining from food that has a high glycemic impact (bread, pasta, candy, chocolate) on her body, or just food which contains glucose in general. Both of these are not allowed for diabetics as they might trigger unwanted effects.
