3.A human pedigree for inheritance of a disease determined by a mutation in a mitochondrial gene is shown. To be affected, an individual must be homoplasmic for mutant mtDNA. Using the figure as a reference, classify each statement below as true or false. 0 TO что ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ 658 58 All the children of affected mothers will have this disease. If an affected female has a child with an unrelated, normal male, the chance that the child will have the trait is 50%. None of the children of affected fathers can have the disease. If an affected male has a child with an unrelated, normal female, the chance that the child will have the disease is 50%. Males can be unaffected even if they are homoplasmic for mutant mtDNA. If an unaffected female is heteroplasmic, some of her children could develop the trait. All affected fathers have unaffected offspring if the mother is normal. The phenotype of the father is unrelated to the phenotype of the offspring.
