Which is the most likely explanation for a child exhibiting a heritable trait that
neither parent exhibits? (1 point)
A mutation occurred, and the child exhibits a new trait due to
the mutation.
The parents have recessive alleles, and the child inherited a
dominant allele.
The trait is recessive, and the child inherited a recessive allele
from each parent.
A grandparent exhibits the trait, and the child inherited it
directly from that person.
