Question

Since Asha is a healthy woman in her forties, she does not have Niemann-Pick disease type A. For this question, assume that she is a healthy person who is a carrier. If Asha is a carrier of the allele for Niemann-Pick disease type A, what is her genotype? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aa is her genotype

Explanation:

This is because since she is just the carrier and she is healthy, her genotype will be heterozygous with the allele for Nieman pick up disease recessive because it's effect is been masked by the allele that is not Nieman pick up disease because it is dorminant. Therefore , the allele for healthiness is dorminant over allele for Nieman disease.
