Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An individual with an abnormal number of chromosomes has a condition called aneuploidy, which is frequently associated with mental problems or physical problems or both (Jorde, Carey, & Bamshad 2010; Nussbaum et al. 2007).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Everyone born with an X-linked dominant disorder will be affected with the disease. Transmission of the disorder to the next generation varies by gender, however. A woman will transmit the mutation to 50 of all her offspring (male or female).
