Studies of large human populations have determined that the penetrance of a particular PRSS1 mutation, Arg122His, is 86%. What does this means for individuals with the predisposing genotype?

Answer :

Answer:

It means that they have an 86% chance of showing the associated phenotype.

Explanation:

  • Arg122His is associated with the gene that carries the genetic characteristics. Its percentage gives the chance of getting the phenotypic appearance.
  • Two particular elements are composed in a gene, phenotype and genotype. Phenotype gives the actual look of an organism where genotype is the genetic information.
  • PRSS1 in any organism is responsible for protein coding gene that instructs for the production of certain types of enzymes.
