Question

If a person has two recessive alleles:
At least one of the parents must have a recessive allele
At least one of the parents must have a dominant allele
Each of their parents must have a recessive allele

Answer 1

Soo Ok what is the correct answer

Answer 2

- Each parent must have at least one recessive allele in order to pass on two recessive alleles to their offspring.
- The parents may also have dominant alleles, but it is not necessary for them to have a dominant allele in order for their child to have two recessive alleles.
- It is possible for both parents to have two recessive alleles themselves if they both show the recessive trait.

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.

The correct statement is:
- Each of their parents must have a recessive allele in order for them to inherit two recessive alleles.
