1 points Save As let's say LDLR lencoding the LDL-receptor) has two alleles: +(which encodes a functional product and-(which encodes a non-functional product LDL receptor transports LDL from the blood into tissue cells and is necessary for normal lipid homeostasis. LDLR is on chromosome 19. A person with other the +/-or-genotype has familial hypercholesterolemia. Which of the following is true? a familial hypercholesterolemia is autosomal dominant because the allele causes the disease b. familial hypercholesterolemnia is autosomal recessive because a single copy of the allele is sufficient to express the phenotype familial hypercholesterolemia is autosomal dominant because the altele is the most common in the population d. familial hypercholesterolemia is autosomal recessive because it is the allele that causes the disease familial hypercholesterolemia is autosomal dominant, because a single copy of the Walele is sufficient to express the phenotype > Moving to another question will save this response. 7 200 or Less, Be back ned tisos Moodt say Than
