<h2>Answer:</h2>

The mutation will show up in the organism's offspring.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Germ cells are cells that produce reproductive cells called gametes. Germ cells are located only in the gonads and are called oogonia in females and spermatogonia in males. In females, they are found in the ovaries and in males, in the testes.
If mutation occurs in the germ cell (i.e., egg or sperm cells) then it is called germinal mutation, this type mutation can be passed to an organism's offspring. As a result of which every cell in the embryo will carry the mutation.

Result: Mutation in gametes are passed to the offspring.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is a recessive genetic disorder that includes the characteristics of short stature and extra fingers

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

D. The frequency of the Ellis-van Creveld allele is 0.0447 in the isolated population and 0.0026 in the general population, which suggests that genetic drift has occurred in the isolated population.

Explanation:

If we assume that one gene is involved in Ellis-van Creveld syndrome and we name that gene with A, then the genotype of the syndrome would be aa.

In population 1, the frequency of the syndrome is 1/150000=0.0000066(it is the frequency of the aa gentotype)

In population 2, the frequency of the syndrome is 1/500=0.002

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

p2+2pq+q2=1 (p2 is the frequency of the dominant homozygous, 2pq is the frequency of heterozygous and q2 is the frequency of the recessive homozygous).

q or the frequency of the Ellis-van Creveld allele in Population 1 is $\sqrt{0.0000066}$ =0.0026

q or the frequency of the Ellis-van Creveld allele in Population 2 is $\sqrt{0.002}$ = 0.0447
