Question

Following his diagnosis, Trenton's doctor explains that his condition is caused by a mutation in genes along with some environmental factors too. What was MOST likely Trenton's diagnosis?
(1 point)
O color blindness
O sickle cell disease
O diabetes
• Huntington's disease

Answer 1

Diabetes.

Reason: diabetes (especially type 2) is a multifactorial disease — genetic susceptibility plus lifestyle/environmental triggers (diet, obesity, activity). The others listed are single‑gene disorders (color blindness, sickle cell, Huntington’s) where a specific mutation alone causes the condition.
