A genetic disease is found in a family that affects the immune system, lungs, heart, and kidneys. A DNA analysis of several affected and unaffected family members determines that the disease is caused by a mutation in a single gene. What type of inheritance pattern is shown in this disease?(1 point) Responses pleiotropy pleiotropy codominance codominance polygenic trait polygenic trait incomplete dominance
The most likely inheritance pattern given the information provided is pleiotropy. Pleiotropy refers to a single gene that affects multiple traits and can result in a variety of symptoms or problems in different organ systems. In this case, the mutation in the single gene is causing the disease to affect the immune system, lungs, heart, and kidneys.
