Explanation of Solution
The proportion of the organism in a population that carries the alleles for causing disease is referred to as penetrance. Penetrance is categorized into complete and incomplete penetrance. The condition in which a specific genotype that expressed into its phenotype is possessed by a lesser amount of people is known as reduced penetrance.

A sudden and heritable change in the genome of an organism is called mutation.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Mutation: A heritable change in a gene
Explanation of Solution
The mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that alters the genetic information expressed by a gene. The substances which bring mutation are known as mutagens. The mutation in genes can cause many diseases, but some mutation does not result in diseases hence called silent mutations.

Explanation of Solution
Pleiotropy is a condition in which many different traits are controlled by the expression of a single gene. In this mechanism, the same product formed by a single gene is used by a different type of cells.

The extent or severity of the trait expressed by the expression of genotype among individuals of the same population is known as variable expressivity. For example, the intensity of symptoms of a disease may vary among individuals even though they possess the same genotype.
