True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and write FALSE if the statement has incorrect information. If the statement is FALSE, identify the incorrect information and provide further explanations, complete solutions, and examples to support your answer.
4. Consaguinity or inbreeding occurs as two individuals who are closely related or descend from a common ancestor mate. Since their gene pools would be much more similar, and if both parents have a gene for a certain disorder, there is a greater chance that it will be passed on to the
offspring. For example, if both of the parents carries the recessive gene that causes the disorder, then there is a probability that the offspring only becomes a carrier. Two recessive alleles are needed to inherit the recessive trait that encodes for a particular genetic disorder.
