Answer: B - Were your parents or grandparents ever diagnosed with Huntington's disease?
Explanation: In autosomal dominant disorder, affected offsprings must have an affected parent. Unaffected parents do not transmit the disease.
Since the disease is caused by a dominant allele, the young man would only be at risk of having Huntington's disease if his parents or grandparents had ever been diagnosed with the disease. He needs not to worry if his parents or grandparents had never been diagnosed with the disease.
His cousin who has been diagnosed with the disease could have inherited the allele from his other parent.
The prefix "cardio" refers to D. heart
B. ventricles
The chordae tendinae, also referred to as heart strings, are tendons that connect the atrioventricular (tricuspid) valves to the muscular wall of the heart. These chords are made predominantly of collagen, while the remaining part is elastin. They play the vital role of maintaining the structure of the valves they connect to. Due to the high pressure generated within the heart, it is entirely possible for the atrioventricular valves to turn inside out. The chordae tendinae prevent this from happening and keep the valves functioning properly.
