Maple syrup urine disease is a rare human genetic disease that runs in families. It is so called because a metabolic error causes the urine of affected babies to have an odor like maple syrup. The babies die at an early age if not treated. The parents are almost never affected with these symptoms. If we assume that the disease is caused by a single gene, is it a recessive or a dominant gene? Explain your answer.
