46

500

What are the genotypes of the parents?

Homozygous recessive, and heterozygous 

500

How many offspring did generation I one? 

500

What is the difference between an organism having genetic disorder and an organism being affected by environmental factors? 

Similar to:

Genetic disorders occur because of genetics, or cell mutations. Enviromental factors are outside factors such as alcohol/tabaco use or diet.
