D. A. B. 10. C. Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common genetic cause of heart disease. It is caused by a dominant factor (C). The recessive factor (c) produces a protein that processes cholesterol normally and leads to a normal risk for heart disease. Answer the following questions about the inheritance of this disease. What is the phenotype of a woman whose genotype is Cc? What is the genotype of a man who has hypercholesterolemia but whose mother did not have the disease? If a man who is heterozygous for the disease marries a woman who is heterozygous for the disease, what is the chance that any child of theirs will inherit the disease? If a man who is homozygous dominant marries a woman who is homozygous recessive, what would you predict for the the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? If the first 2 children from the marriage described in D above have the disease, what is the chance that a third child would be normal? Explain your answer.
