Answer: the child's phenotype will be normal.

The child will acquire that disease.

Explanation:

The mitochondrial DNA is a small circular chromosome that exists in the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the power house of the cell and all its 37 DNA are essential for a normal function of the mitochondria. the mtdna is passed directly from the mother (through the egg cell) to the child either a male or female but the son cannot pass his mtdna to his child. Thus, if a man with this disease marries a woman not affected, the child's phenotype will be normal. But if the wife has the disease, this willl be passed from her to her child me it a male or female.

A man who is aware that he is a silent carrier of the FMO3 ""fish odor syndrome"" gene has children with a woman who is ""normal
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

This could be possible if the  wife  is a carrier of the FMO3 allele.   Therefore the two carrier parents must have  passed the defective alleles to the child, who now possessed the gene for the FMO3, and said to be dominant for the fish odor.

In genetics a Carrier  is an individual who inherited a defective allele (FMO3) , but do not show the manifestations of the allele, or symptoms of the diseases attributed to it. Therefore the wife is a Carrier for the allele if the child could show this symptoms of fish odor.
