Hereditary fructose intolerance is a genetic condition caused by a variant in the ALDOB gene, which is critical for fructose metabolism. Infants with this condition do not initially display symptoms, but as they are transitioned from breast milk or formula to solid foods, in particular fruit-based foods, they begin to display symptoms, which include vomiting, diarrhea, and low blood sugar. Individuals who do not consume fructose do not display these symptoms. Which of the following describes this condition?

a. It is incompletely penetrant, due to environmental factors.
b. It has variable expressivity, due to environmental factors.incorrect
c. It is incompletely penetrant, due to genetic factors.
d. It has variable expressivity, due to genetic factors.

Sagot :

It has variable expressivity due to the environmental factors.

The variation in expressivity occurs due to the environmental factors of that individual. Expressivity describes the differences observed in the phenotype between two individuals that belongs to same genotype.

In the condition, when the patient is allowed to consume the fructose based food, so it expresses the change in its body due to no tolerance against fructose so we can conclude that the change occurs due to environment not due to genetics.
