Answer to Question 1

Chromosomes 1, 14, and 21 contain genes that, when mutated, cause early-onset forms of Alzheimer's disease.

Answer to Question 2

That Alzheimer's disease is genetically heterogeneous means that there are several different forms of Alzheimer's disease, each of them probably associated with a different gene or combination of genes.
