While doing a pedigree analysis of a royal family from the ancient Mayan empire, you notice that a prince with the genetic disea
se married a person from outside the royal family without a history of the disease in her family (i.e. she is not a carrier). Of their six children, two have the disease and four are not affected. The prince’s mother and his father also had this disease. If this disease is controlled by a single gene, then the most likely explanation for disease in the children would be:
the disease is dominant and is seen in heterozygous or homozygous dominant individuals
Explanation:
In the question, it was stated that the disease was transferred to two of the children. This shows that the disease is likely a dominant one. In addition, dominant individual with either homozygous or heterozygous alleles will also have the disease. The homozygous individuals usually have two kinds of a similar allele while heterozygous usually have one recessive and one dominant alleles.
This is true. This is also used in hospitals used while surgery or another surgical or medial process that can cause severe pain without this medicine.
