A genetic counselor is examining a family in which both parents are known to be carriers for a recessive CFTR mutation. If the parents are carriers for two different CFTR mutations that are present in the frequency of 0.001 (dad's disease allele) and 0.0001 (mom's disease allele) in human population under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what will be the most prevalent genotype among the three in this population? O heterozygote for two disease alleles homozygote for dad's disease allele O homozygote for mom's disease allele
