Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder associated with an allele on an autosomal chromosome. individuals with neurofibromatosis have uneven skin pigmentation and skin tumors. a man with neurofibromatosis marries a woman who does not carry the allele for this disorder. the couple has 5 children, 3 of whom have neurofibromatosis. the most likely explanation for this outcome is that neurofibromatosis is a trait and the man is

autosomal dominant, affected

Explanation:

Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal (non-sex chromosome) dominant disease, which means that a single mutant gene from the parents can cause the disease in the next generation. And there is a 50% chance of passing the affected genes to the children.

In this case, since we know the mother does not carry the mutant allele, and just one copy of the affected allele is enough for the children to have neurofibromatosis. We can conclude that the father carries the mutant allele and 3 of the 5 children, inherited the afected allele and have the disease.

the types of mutations include: missense mutation: this type of mutation is a change in one dna base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. nonsense mutation: a nonsense mutation is also a change in one dna base pair.

explanation:

ask your friends for what they got then copy it down if you don't have any friends which is fine than google it or pay the teacher
