Question

Suppose a person is homozygous recessive for a

recessive genetic disorder. This genotype means
that the person
is a carrier for the disorder.
• has the genetic disorder.
• cannot pass on the gene.
• is healthy and is not a carrier.

Answer 1

Has the genetic disorder

Step-by-step explanation:

Recessive gene are genes that are expressed phenotypically only in the homozygous condition. Homozygous is a condition where an organism contains identical alleles in homologous chromosomes. When a person is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disorder, then this genotype means that person has the genetic disorder since they have the identical allele.
