HELPP!!(you can answer only one if you don't know both of them)

1.) You do some testing and it turns out the faulty proteins are only being produced by a small group of cells on the man's arm. Which is the most likely cause of the problem?
Select one:
a. a mutation in the DNA
b. a germ-line mutation inherited from his father on the Y chromosome
c. a medication the man was taking
d. a mitochondrial mutation inherited from his mother

2.) You do some more testing and find out that the issue is due to a mutation in the group of cells. Our patient is married and his wife recently found out she was pregnant. They are worried that this mutation will be passed along to their child. What will you tell them?
Select one:
a. Yes, all parental mutations are passed along to children. We need to start dealing with your unborn child's condition because they definitely have it.
b. That is not something you need to worry about. The mutation occurred in skin cells on the man's arm.
