Want to know:

While doing a pedigree analysis of a royal family from the ancient Mayan empire, you notice that a prince with the genetic disease married a person from outside the royal family without a history of the disease in her family (i.e. she is not a carrier). Of their six children, two have the disease and four are not affected. The prince's mother and his father also had this disease. If this disease is controlled by a single gene, then the most likely explanation for disease in the children would be: a. the disease is dominant and is only seen in homozygous dominant individuals.b. the disease in the two children, who have the disease, must have resulted from a spontaneous mutation.c. the disease is dominant and is seen in heterozygous or homozygous dominant individuals.d. the disease is recessive and is only seen in homozygous recessive individuals such as the two affected children.
