During a routine check-up, a woman is informed by her doctor that she has developed a skin tumor. Although the woman is distraught, the doctor assures her that this is a benign tumor that will not spread to other parts of her body . Apparently, the mutation that led to the development of the tumor arose in one skin cell. After the skin tumor diagnosis, the woman and her male fiance ( who has not been diagnosed with a skin tumor) wonder whether they should start a family What is true? O All of the woman's children will inherit the mutation O All of the woman's children will inherit the mutation if the mutation is dominant O None of the woman's children will inherit the mutation © Some of the woman's children may inherit the mutation depending on which of her chromosomes they inherit
